Question about docker overlay volume

Posts: 13
My understanding of overlay volume is that it's created on-the-fly with CoW. So, if I create a new file in a running container, I expect to see a new volume being created. However, this doesn't seem to be the case:
- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$ docker volume prune
- WARNING! This will remove all local volumes not used by at least one container.
- Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y

- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$ docker volume ls
- DRIVER VOLUME NAME
- local cmountvol
- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$ docker container ls |grep web1
- a5882c59e10e nginx "/docker-entrypoint.…" 17 hours ago Up 17 hours 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, :::80->80/tcp web1
- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$ docker container exec -ti web1 sh
- # mkdir /data
- # touch /data/foobar
- # ls /data
- foobar
- # read escape sequence
- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$ docker volume ls #Expect a new volume to be created to overlay the "web1" container
- DRIVER VOLUME NAME
- local cmountvol
- kaisong@ubuntu-vm:~$
Can anyone help me to understand where the /data/foobar is being saved on the host for the container "web1"?
