docker容器默认的空间是10G,如果想指定默认容器的大小（在启动容器的时候指定），可以在docker配置文件里通过dm.basesize参数指定，比如
docker -d --storage-opt dm.basesize=20G
是指定默认的大小为20G，具体参数可以参考https://github.com/docker/docker/tree/master/daemon/graphdriver/devmapper
上面方法只是真的生成容器的时候进行的，并且修改后需要重启docker，无法做到动态给运行容器指定大小，下面我介绍一下如何动态的扩展容器空间大小。
动态扩展的优点：
1、不需要修改docker配置，并且重启docker服务；
2、可以直接对运行中的容器进行动态扩展（只能增，无法缩）；
缺点：
1、docker所在宿主机分区的格式必须是ext2、ext3、ext4；
2、docker存储引擎必须是devicemapper
存储引擎查看，可以使用docker info查看
15:25:49 # docker info
Containers: 5
Images: 62
Storage Driver: devicemapper
Pool Name: docker-8:17-37748738-pool
Data file: /data1/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/data
Metadata file: /data1/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata
Data Space Used: 21498.9 Mb
Data Space Total: 102400.0 Mb
Metadata Space Used: 13.7 Mb
Metadata Space Total: 2048.0 Mb
Execution Driver: lxc-1.0.6
Kernel Version: 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
从上面的Storage Driver可以看到我使用的引擎。
下面是动态扩展的例子：
1、新建立个test容器
15:23:48 # docker run --privileged -d -p 22 --name='test' docker.ops-chukong.com:5000/CentOS6-http:new /usr/bin/supervisord
1716fe941926dbd0b247b85d73e83b9465322a5005edc3c6182b59a6ac0939a7
root@ip-10-10-27-221:/tmp
15:24:01 # docker inspect test|grep -i add
"IPAddress": "172.17.0.18",
root@ip-10-10-27-221:/tmp
15:24:08 # ssh 172.17.0.18

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

/dev/sdb1 ext4 1.8T 30G 1.7T 2% /.dockerenv
可以看到我运行test容器的根分区是ext4分区，容器是10G
2、使用我的脚本动态扩展容器空间
脚本内容
15:22:12 # cat dynamic_modify_docker_disk.sh
#!/bin/bash
#This script is dynamic modify docker container disk
#Author Deng Lei
if [ -z $1 ] || [ -z $2 ]; then
echo "Usage: container_name increase_capacity"
echo "Example: I want increase 11G to test"
echo "The command is: sh `basename $0` test 11"
exit 1
fi
if [ `docker inspect $1 &>>/dev/null && echo 0 || echo 1` -eq 1 ];then
echo "The container $1 is no exist!"
exit 1
fi
container_id=`docker inspect -f '{{ .Id }}' $1`
now_disk=`dmsetup table /dev/mapper/docker-*-$container_id|awk '{print $2}'`
disk=$(($2*1024*1024*1024/512))
if [ $disk -lt $now_disk ];then
echo "I can't shink container $1 from $(($now_disk*512/1024/1024/1024))G to ${2}G!I only modify contanier increase disk!"
exit 1
fi
dmsetup table /dev/mapper/docker-*-$container_id|sed "s/0 [0-9]* thin/0 $disk thin/"|dmsetup load /dev/mapper/docker-*-$container_id
dmsetup resume /dev/mapper/docker-*-$container_id
resize2fs /dev/mapper/docker-*-$container_id
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
echo "dynamic container $1 disk to ${2}G is success!"
else
echo "dynamic container $1 disk to ${2}G is fail!"
fi
