Hey there, while rebuilding our forum I get the “storage driver not supported” warning even though we use BTRFS (docker info also confirms this). Any tips to stop this warning from showing?

Why would you want to suppress the message? [BTRFS and Overlay are no longer supported](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unsupported-storage-and-checking-latest-launcher-create-infinite-loop/117014/10)

I think @saj was the one that warned us about `BTRFS`.

Apologies, I hadn’t found the post yet. It is confusing though that the warning itself does still mention BTRFS as a viable format though (same for Overlay).
