Fresh install, docker pull paintedfox/postgresql and

 docker run -d --name="postgresql" \
             -p 127.0.0.1:5432:5432 \
             -v /tmp/postgresql:/data \
             -e USER="super" \
             -e DB="database_name" \
             -e PASS="$(pwgen -s -1 16)" \
             paintedfox/postgresql

Here is the log :

It has something to do with phusion/baseimage. I reverted it to phusion/baseimage:0.9.10 and it worked.

[vshulyak]

Ok, found a solution. Build a new image with --no-cache option from Dockerfile. And probably the image needs to be rebuilt? @Painted-Fox ?

Seems like it's a bug with AuFS mentioned by jpetazzo, not sure if it's relevant though.

[thromera]

@alejo90 yes, it's the phusion/baseimage. I moved to phusion/baseimage:0.9.13 and everything works fine.
@vshulyak I don't know if @Painted-Fox has something to do with his DockerFile, or if it 's a bug caused by phusion/baseimage...

Im still seeing this issue using the current build from the docker registry.

+1. I'm seeing this error too.

Postgres is starting up when the image is built with the --no-cache option, though.

Here's the original Docker/AuFS bug moby/moby#783

Any workaround?

[mlvn23]

I also encountered this issue, and the work-around is to use devicemapper instead of AUFS.

Add this line in /etc/default/docker:

DOCKER_OPTS="--storage-driver=devicemapper"

and restart the docker service.

[miloskroulik]

Well, there seems to be problem with devicemapper too, as mentioned in moby/moby#4860. So, it seems, that it would be better to rebuild the image, as mentioned by @Erowlin
