Can't create unix socket /var/run/docker.sock: is a directory

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Docker gets terminated at the same time as OpenShift is trying to restart a pod that mounts /var/run/docker.sock. When docker starts again, it fails with the following error:

    level=fatal msg="can't create unix socket /var/run/docker.sock: is a directory"
    

Environment

  • OpenShift Container Platform 3.4
  • docker-1.12.6-31.git3a6eaeb.el7
