Is this normal or abnormal?
Can I set the interval manually?

Can the snapshots be deleted safely?

Hi @kwetiaw ,

@Flyer Re your:
Agreed we have some things to look at here but also as I understand it docker uses btrfs snapshots internally for it’s ‘layers’ so we may have a hard time meaningfully tracking all of these from the ‘outside’. But as of docker version 1.13 there is a facility to ‘prune’ unused elements:
docker system prune
The above also has container, volume, and image variants in place of the system option.
See:
And another niceness is:
docker system df
with a -v variant.
I.e. use …
That is Docker, we need to investigate it (Docker snapshots during docker image installation, deleting probably not a problem) ← No, don’t delete them, sorry! Contributors will investigate it
