History of docker storage (docker root) migration issue

Not more than a couple of days ago, it was decided on one of the servers to move docker storage (the directory where Docker stores all container and image files) to a separate partition, which had a larger capacity. The task seemed trivial and did not foretell trouble... Let's get started: 1.
