Can't run Docker container due device mapper error

问题

I just can't create and run new containers in Docker anymore. But in the same time a can run previously created containers.

When I try to do something like this:

[user@host ~ ] docker run --name=fpm-5.3 debian:jessie
2014/07/12 07:34:08 Error: Error running DeviceCreate (createSnapDevice) dm_task_run failed

From docker.log:

2014/07/12 05:57:11 POST /v1.12/containers/create?name=fpm-5.3
[f56fcb6f] +job create(fpm-5.3)
Error running DeviceCreate (createSnapDevice) dm_task_run failed
[f56fcb6f] -job create(fpm-5.3) = ERR (1)
[error] server.go:1025 Error: Error running DeviceCreate (createSnapDevice) dm_task_run failed

But they are a lot of free space on disk.

The following is for a Fedora/RHEL system, so you'll need to adjust for Debian...

# systemctl stop docker.service
# thin_check /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata

If there were no errors then proceed with:

# thin_check --clear-needs-check-flag /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata
# systemctl start docker.service
# docker run --name=fpm-5.3 debian:jessie

To install thin_check command, run:

# apt-get install -y thin-provisioning-tools

When the docker partition filled and docker would no longer start after reboot, I encountered this:

# thin_check /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata

  missing devices: [0, -]
    bad checksum in btree node

I was able to repair with this procedure:

# thin_dump -r /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata -o /tmp/metadata.xml
# thin_restore -i /tmp/metadata.xml -o /var/lib/docker/devicemapper/devicemapper/metadata

In our case just need to start and stop the service.

Depending on your system you can run:

service docker stop
service docker start

or:

sudo systemctl stop docker.service
sudo systemctl start docker.service

or:

sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

I had the same problem and was not able to fix it. I found something promising at: http://grokbase.com/t/gg/docker-user/1563fzdtm7/docker-docker-runs-out-of-space-when-trying-to-create-a-new-image 'The default docker storage driver allocates 10GB storage blocks for your images. Move to overlayfs and avoid this entirely. In the command that starts your docker daemon just add "-s overlay" '

this fixed my problem.

I've been fighting this issue with Debian 8.2. I had other problems because I run a 4.3.3 Kernel (default is 3.16) with grsec.

Despite the GRSEC issues (mount & chmod denied) I was able to run docker and create some image and container.

Then, I would reboot and docker would just spit out the error. I ran thin_check and what I found was this:

metadata was fine (I don't use a thin pool right now since docker keeps on telling me that my thin pool isn't a thin pool...)
data was corrupted.

Tried to repair it but thin_restore crashes.

I realized that: docker daemon ... was working but can't be stopped with systemctl stop docker.service. It says that the service is stopped but the daemon is still in memory (ps -elf | grep docker)

To fix the problem I had to change the DOCKER_STORAGE_OPTIONS in /etc/default/docker

rm -rf /var/lib/docker
reboot

At boot time, the service starts. docker info

Shows the info as expected. Built an image. Rebooted, the service starts fine again. I think that basically the docker daemon can't be stopped and killing it with a:

kill <pid>

Causes the data file to be corrupted and therefore the checksum won't match.

Bottom line is don't mix and match docker.service and docker daemon. At least on Debian/Ubuntu.
