The fact that RHEL recommends (recommended?) thin pool is malpractice. When deleting containers, the storage is never released. If you create lots of new containers, doing batch processing for instance, you will eventually exhaust the storage capacity even if you are extra careful to always garbage-collect the dead containers.

We switched to overlayfs and never looked back.

Storage with docker is just such a mess. In the end I went for Triton (SmartOS) which has ZFS and docker support and never looked back.
