I've confirmed that the PPA provided by @mwhudson in #4 addresses the crash reported in the issue.
I've also identified a simple test Dockerfile that crashes on an unpatched system, and works properly on the new PPA. https://gist.github.com/bdafb8e961f55b2533fee8fa5221d186 - rename as "Dockerfile", then run $ docker build -t deep-files . With the PPA, this runs to completion; without it, it crashes at build time with Step 41 : RUN mkdir 40 error creating aufs mount to /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/787c80e88d99c4ed74305f16ce 30395e3346cfa4629c3d078f9fab3c6e4e52f0: invalid argument The Dockerfile is very simple; it just creates 100 directories, one layer at a time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702979 Title: Deeply layered Docker image problems To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io/+bug/1702979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
