alt Hacker NewsDocker already fills up my dev machines yet they decided for this insane solution:
> The containerd image store uses more disk space than the legacy storage drivers for the same images. This is because containerd stores images in both compressed and uncompressed formats, while the legacy drivers stored only the uncompressed layers.
Why ?

Sounds like a straightforward time-space tradeoff: if you have the compressed layers sitting around when you need them, you can avoid the expense and time of compressing them.

Just in case - I'm always amazed how many Docker users don't know about the prune command for cleaning up the caches and deleting unused container images and just slowly let their docker image cache eat their disk.
