Hi Team,
I have been seeing the issue in our docker environments where even if the docker is setup on the /var/lib/docker dedicated file system , it also consumes the space from the /var separate file system. When I looked into the file system to find out the files which consuming more space , I could see the /var/lib/docker directory size is 13GB but file system usage is 9.8GB. When I checked for the var file system files sizes, but I don’t see the sum of other files are equal to 9.4G which is shown in the df output for var file system. Could anyone tell me will the docker consuming this space somehow
root@docker1 lib]# df -ThP /var /var/lib/docker
