Really nice to see the new file systems addressing this issue, but, as many including me hurt by AUFS, I am being cautious. Do you think it is battle tested enough? As it is different than other merging ones, it is a little more dangerous than them as well since it works on block level? Not trying to be negative, I really liked it, and I am not even happy about even a docker load command performance over my overlay2, and will defintely be trying LCFS.

It is a mini-file system, working directly on top of a block device. Having something else in between is not a good idea. Much of the data handled by docker storage driver is temporary and does not even have to hit disk before thrown away.
This project is currently in experimental mode. We would appreciate any feedback you may have.
