Hey there! I’m trying to get the changes on the filesystem of each layer of my image. Right now I’m using the images/{name}/get API endpoint to retrieve the filesystem changes of each layer, but I’m having a hard time identifying where the layer id’s on the files come from - they are not the id of the layer image nor the RootFS layer id’s retrieved using $- docker history {name}.
As an example, for the image with id a0f52ce222a0cb210ebf23d86f9bdb5bf6e2cbccb81adc5d8dcb98d153a9f2ab :
Files on the tar retrieved using images/a0f52ce22/get:

As you can see, none of these id’s match each other except for the target image, meaning that I can’t match the layer to the actual filesystem layer generated during the build. The json files included in the tar don’t help either. Is there any way to match the layers inside the tar to the intermediate layers generated during the build?
