The issue was the number of inodes in my /var/lib/docker partition was ridiculously small, I had to reformat the partition to increase the number of inodes, and it is now working. Th partition is 20G, with the big files option, perhaps it was the reason of the small number of inodes? And yes, I was using overlay2. Thanks again for your help, André
