> Most probably it’s because the backing xfs filesystem was not created with ftype=1 option. This is very common if you let the OS installer format the / fs and you just have /var/lib/docker on /. On newer docker verision (1.13?) with docker info you can see support d\_type = false and that indicates your xfs was created with ftype=0 instead of the required ftype=1. This will cause weird issues if you use overlayfs on top of it. See below issues for detail: [https://github.com/docker/docker/issue…](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/27358)
