Description Brenton Leanhardt 2016-04-20 14:52:58 UTC
Description of problem:
As best I can tell this is the exact problem mentioned here:

https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/17691

Editing the sqlite db as mentioned in the issue worked around the problem for me:

sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/docker/linkgraph.db
delete from edge where entity_id = '<conflicting-entity-id-sha-1>';
delete from entity where id = '<conflicting-entity-id-sha-1>';

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

docker-1.9.1-25.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

I've hit this randomly.  Our openvswitch container is launched by systemd and effectively runs this command:

/usr/bin/docker run --name openvswitch --rm --privileged --net=host --pid=host -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /run:/run -v /sys:/sys:ro -v /etc/origin/openvswitch:/etc/openvswitch openshift3/openvswitch:v3.2.0.12

Actual results:

Error response from daemon: Could not find container for entity id a1ad40523b86be16092de9384175b23bc6c8b92a1744c7783b7315c375a9a877


Expected results:

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2016-04-21 04:46:05 UTC
Not sure how we would fix this, other then to release onte it.

Would rm -f /var/lib/docker/linkgraph.db  Have worked?

Comment 3 Brenton Leanhardt 2016-04-21 11:52:10 UTC
I'm happy to try that the next time I hit this.  How safe it is to do that when upgrading from docker 1.8.2 to 1.9.1?  How is the linkgraph rebuilt?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2016-04-22 18:21:16 UTC
I believe it is rebuilt from the existing graph driver.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2016-06-03 18:24:35 UTC
Fixed in docker-1.9

Comment 7 Luwen Su 2016-06-12 15:00:00 UTC
I tried serveral times to start and stop the container, it works fine docker-1.10.3-40.el7.x86_64:
# docker run --name openvswitch --rm --privileged --net=host --pid=host -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /run:/run -v /sys:/sys:ro -v /etc/origin/openvswitch:/etc/openvswitch openshift3/openvswitch

I used to met this issue long time ago and use removing linkgraph.db to workaround as same, but i've been a while not seen this.
If anyone meet this with latest docker version, feel free reopen this bug.
