Fix issue #24010: warn about containerd separate storage path (#24447)
Adds warning about containerd using a separate storage path from the Docker data directory. Changes: - Added IMPORTANT callout in "Disk space usage" section explaining that containerd uses separate storage - Warns users with custom data directories that they need to configure containerd separately - Links to containerd configuration documentation for data directory setup This prevents users from unexpectedly filling their root partition when they assumed their custom data directory configuration would apply to containerd. Fixes #24010 Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
