Issue

On a container Host running docker with the device-mapper storage driver, after some time of use, the amount of storage in use in the pool (as presented by both docker info and lvs -a) is significantly higher than the sum of all values presented by docker ps -as and docker images.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x
  • docker-1.12.x and docker-1.13.x configured with the device-mapper storage driver
