From 05549e8b2904427a1fb6d0b36889ac43360db073 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Reber Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2019 07:56:39 +0000 Subject: Add --ignore-rootfs option for checkpoint/restore The newly added functionality to include the container's root file-system changes into the checkpoint archive can now be explicitly disabled. Either during checkpoint or during restore. If a container changes a lot of files during its runtime it might be more effective to migrated the root file-system changes in some other way and to not needlessly increase the size of the checkpoint archive. If a checkpoint archive does not contain the root file-system changes information it will automatically be skipped. If the root file-system changes are part of the checkpoint archive it is also possible to tell Podman to ignore these changes.
