Unsupported graph driver list unknown

[ggee]

I've tried a few times to install but preflight complains about an unsupported graph driver. I tried BTRFS and overlay2.

As a fix, please update the error message and the Limitations section about what is actually supported. We can't assume that whatever docker supports, you will.

@ggee please provide error messages, docker version info, kubernetes version info, etc...

Same for me, with 1.6.1, Ubuntu 16.04.2 x64:

Docker indeed uses btrfs:

$ cat /etc/docker/daemon.json 
{
  "graph": "/data/docker",
  "storage-driver": "btrfs"
}

With --skip-preflight-checks the node managed to join the master.

This is due to that the node team hasn't officially validated the overlay2 driver, this is working as-is with the warning in place. I think overlay2 should work just fine though...
