Steps to reproduce the issue:
-
Try to create a container with multiple volumes but try to mount them to the same location in the container (which will fail):
$ docker run -d -v test:/data -v test2:/data alpine sh docker: Error response from daemon: Duplicate mount point '/data'. See 'docker run --help'.
-
Try to remove the volume that was created:
$ docker volume ls DRIVER VOLUME NAME local test $ docker volume rm test Error response from daemon: Unable to remove volume, volume still in use: remove test: volume is in use - [ac641c4577bc210e6ed41c8a580074300de7d342e5f78332cbdd71532b11ab0c]
-
The mentioned container doesn’t exist:
$ docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
Describe the results you received:
$ docker volume rm test
Error response from daemon: Unable to remove volume, volume still in use: remove test: volume is in use - [60fb24fdee552e54d0b884592ee616277c7c14eb8c2f2d6e4b7e53c36f531c04]
Describe the results you expected: Volume should be removable as it isn’t in use by a container
Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally): If you restart the daemon, you can remove the volume but that should not be necessary
