+% storage.conf(5) Container Storage Configuration File
+% Dan Walsh
+% May 2017
+
+# NAME
+storage.conf - Syntax of Container Storage configuration file
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+The STORAGE configuration file specifies all of the available container storage options
+for tools using shared container storage, but in a TOML format that can be more easily modified
+and versioned.
+
+# FORMAT
+The [TOML format][toml] is used as the encoding of the configuration file.
+Every option and subtable listed here is nested under a global "storage" table.
+No bare options are used. The format of TOML can be simplified to:
+
+ [table]
+ option = value
+
+ [table.subtable1]
+ option = value
+
+ [table.subtable2]
+ option = value
+
+## STORAGE TABLE
+
+The `storage` table supports the following options:
+
+
+**graphroot**=""
+ container storage graph dir (default: "/var/lib/containers/storage")
+ Default directory to store all writable content created by container storage programs
+
+**runroot**=""
+ container storage run dir (default: "/var/run/containers/storage")
+ Default directory to store all temporary writable content created by container storage programs
+
+**driver**=""
+ container storage driver (default is "overlay")
+ Default Copy On Write (COW) container storage driver
+
+**additionalimagestores**=[]
+ Paths to additional congtainer image stores. Usually these are read/only and stored on remote network shares.
