Just so it's clear to everyone, docker-1.5.0-1.el7 mentioned here is the one that I maintain as part of CentOS virt SIG, and only includes the upstream docker release 1.5.0

I take it that this is equivalent of doing


docker run -v sites/test.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf ...

Lokesh can you build the latest docker-1.6 packages and see if B. Warsing can reproduce there.


I don't use docker-compose.

Yes, but oddly enough, the equivalent `docker run` command will succeed where `docker-compose` fails.

Could you patch the exact error message you are seeing?

THis looks like something you typed.


"file exists at %!s(MISSING), can't create volume there" because it cannot bind mouth a file.

Since I doubt we printed "bind mouth"

This is where the code is blocking. It looks like it is checking if an inode exists and then is blocking the mount on it unless it is a directory.

Should open this as an issue with upstream.  I have no idea what the intended behaviour is.

I am not sure what you mean. Are you asking me to do re-open this ticket somewhere else?

Yes open it on github with docker-compose or docker.  The problem is I am not sure of the intended behaviour, also since docker-compose is not supported on RHEL, this is not something we even look at.

**but since there is no support from rhel docker(no :z/:Z), it gets permission denied if not set the right label in the host.See https://github.com/rhatdan/docker/commit/b79465d2e9a11c61dcba47965fad2dad83f6c31e, the label won't be changed if no z:Z given....
