Docker also has a Btrfs filesystem driver which makes use of Btrfs's snapshots and CoW features. BTRFS has been in the mainline kernel for years, and I have been using it for just about as long.

BTRFS is still considered experimental, but it certainly seems stable enough for many uses.

Yep. I've been using it on my desktop for a long time and my laptop for even longer.

The primary reason for my comment to the OP was to remind him that there are at least three Docker storage systems, and that two of them don't have any substantial performance impact.
