Hi,

There are numerous articles on Linux hosted docker display of volume default base size.

But on Windows docker 18.03.1-ce-win65 (17513) when you run the command:

“docker info” I get the following:

Hi,

For anyone that is interested in this. I have figured out that the “dm” options are only for devicemapper. so it will not appear in the overlay2 storage options. From the documentation there is a mention that you can set the max default size for overlay2, but however, there is a lack of information regarding overlay2’s default max size if this option is not set.
