I have been working on an ansible script for installing a DCOS mesos cluster. I have been following the steps in the advanced installation section of the documentation of DCOS inside my ansible script. I get the following when my ansible script runs
bash dcos_installer.sh master
results

FAIL (devicemapper, /dev/loop0)
Docker is configured to use the devicemapper storage driver with a loopback
device behind it. This is highly recommended against by Docker and the
community at large for production use[0][1]. See the docker documentation on
selecting an alternate storage driver, or use alternate storage than loopback
for the devicemapper driver.

The errors I don't know how to fix are the ones related to the storage driver. I am using Google GCE instances running centos 7, they do not use LVM and hence I can't use the recommended devicemapper(direct-lvm) storage driver.
My question is, is there a way to use the devicemapper driver or do I use another storage driver?
I will open source my script once it works.
update
Overlayfs worked for me
