Description

Accidentally filled my root partition today following this guide because i had my docker data path set to a different folder and i didn’t realise that containerd used a separate storage path.
The documentation didn’t make it initially clear that you needed to configure the storage location for containerd separately from the docker data.

the docs lines

If disk space is constrained, consider the following:

    Regularly prune unused images with docker image prune
    Use docker system df to monitor disk usage
    [Configure the data directory](https://docs.docker.com/engine/daemon/#configure-the-data-directory-location) to use a partition with adequate space

Implied to me that i wouldn't need to make any changes because I had previously configured the data directory.

IMO it might be worth adding a note here for anyone who previously configured a data directory that they need to set one for containerd.
