## Storage
Discuss how container storage work
### Unix Storage in Brief
* Actual storage devices are binary info on hardware, managed by kernel
* Logical storage devices (logical groups, like partition drive into different parts)
* Filesystems
* FUSE filesystems and network filesystems
### The Secret of Dockers: COWs
Copy on Write layer: Container see the combined result of real file and a its own file system layer. When writing to file, instead of directly write on file, we write on the file system layer
???? Need more understanding
### Moving Cows
* The contents of layers are moved between containers in gzip files
* Containers are independent of the storage engine
* Any container can be loaded (almost) everywhere
* It's possible to run out of layers on some of the storage engines
### Volumes and Bind Mounting
* The Linux VFS (Virtual File System)
* Mounting devices on the VFS

TODO: relearn these content (networking, process, storage of docker, etc)
