SOLVED: Default installs of CentOS 7 with XFS file system creates the file system with the option ftype=0 which is incompatible with Docker. Rebuilding with either ftype=1 (which can’t be done through the GUI installer for CentOS) or as EXT4 file system will solve the issue. Be sure to run docker info first to see if there’s a warning at the end of the output. Steps for reproduction: Install CentOS 7 yum install curl wget nano zip unzip open-vm-tools -y yum update -y Disable SELinux and reboot Install Docker-CE (using instructions from Docker.com Install Docker Engine on CentOS | Docker Docs) Test that Docker is install and running properly. Add root and local user to docker usergroup.

The file system problem was causing the issue. Rebuilt with EXT4 partitions. Resolved.

what is the output of docker info ?

[image] codinghorror: overlay: the backing xfs filesystem is formatted without d_type support, which leads to incorrect behavior. Haven’t done this yet. I’ll reinstall the OS with EXT4 FS since CentOS can’t specify the ftype during the GUI installer. I’ll report back shortly.
