Docker Layer's On Disk Location

Question

I have been trying to figure out on-disk location of the layers included in the image but no luck. I have looked at some of the similar post and suggested location /var/lib/docker/image/aufs/imagedb/content/sha256 and /var/lib/docker/image/aufs/layerdb/content/sha256 but I am still confused.

I am able to find layers associated with an image using "docker inspect " but not able to find on-disk location of image.

Using ubuntu 14.0 and running Docker version 1.11.2. Appreciate your help.

Answer 1

I have a quite old quesiton on this, hope it can provide some information for you function of docker directory structure in /var/lib/docker/

and my suggestion is that only if something bad happens, you don't need to care about the internal of the storage driver, docker will take care of it.
