+# writes roughly its own size (~33G) transiently, on top of the images already
+# resident, so this volume is sized for the peak and not the steady state.
+# Everything on it is reproducible from the mirror, so it is excluded from

+# Registry store: NOT on the docker disk
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# The registry's blob store used to be a bind mount from the docker disk
+# (/var/lib/docker/registry-data). That put ~25G of permanently-resident data
+# on the same volume as the transient build peak, and the two competed: the
+# registry grows with every push, the build needs headroom at 03:20, and the
+# build lost. Moved to the system disk on 2026-09-22, which had 49G idle.
+#
+# Keep them separate. The registry is small, static and I/O-light; the build
+# disk is large, churning and latency-insensitive. Sharing one volume couples
+# a slow leak to a hard failure.
+#
+# If this host's backups cover the system disk, exclude /opt/registry-data:
+# the contents are reproducible by re-pushing the images.
+#
+# Moving it is not just an fstab edit. dockerd caches the mount in its own
+# namespace, so after remounting you must restart the daemon and recreate the
+# registry container, or pushes keep silently landing on the old disk. Verify
+# with: grep ' /var/lib/registry ' /proc/$(docker inspect registry \
+# --format '{{.State.Pid}}')/mountinfo
+# and check the device is the system disk, not the docker one.
