docker.io (1.11.2~ds1-1) unstable; urgency=medium As of src:linux 4.0+ (specifically, >= 3.18-1~exp1), AUFS support is no longer included in official Debian-compiled kernels. What this means to Docker users is that if your existing images are stored within the "AUFS" graph driver that once you update your kernel, your images (and containers) will become inaccessible (due to the kernel not having the necessary aufs modules to mount them). To recover from this, there are a couple options (detailed below). 1. Use the included nuke script to blow away your existing "/var/lib/docker" contents and start fresh with Linux 4.0+: service docker stop /usr/share/docker.io/contrib/nuke-graph-directory.sh /var/lib/docker service docker start 2. Use "docker save" (see "docker help save" for usage) before booting 4.0+ to preserve your images on-disk as tar files, then follow the nuke step from the previous option followed by using "docker load" to re-load your images. 3. Update to src:linux >= 4.1.1-1~exp1 ("aufs: Apply patches to enable building aufs out-of-tree"), and then compile the aufs modules out-of-tree (a package for doing this module compilation automatically doesn't yet exist at the time of this writing, but might in the future). -- Tianon Gravi Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:02:44 -0800
