Error: “error creating aufs mount to” when building dockerfile

Question

I get this error when I try to build a docker file

 error creating aufs mount to /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt   
 /6c1b42ce1a98b1c0f2d2a7f17c196221445f1054566065         


        

Answer 1

I have removed /var/lib/docker/aufs/diff and got the same problem:

error creating aufs mount to /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/blah-blah-init: invalid argument

It solved by running the following commands:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q);
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q);
docker rmi -f $(docker images -a -q)
