after upgrading from docker version 1.12 to docker-ce v 17.09, and restarting docker, the exited containers that were running in docker 1.12 show up with docker ps -a and docker images, but the containers cannot be started. [root@localhost ~]# docker start ir-ms Error response from daemon: Unknown …

For me docker had docker-runc before which later changed to runrc you can verify this comparing new and old containers runtime configuration docker inspect container_name | grep Runtime you can manually update this by editing old container config file for me it was in /var/lib/docker/containers/…

i know this. first into:cd /var/lib/docker/containers/ second run :sed -i “s/docker-runc//g” grep -rl "docker-runc" . third: systemctl restart docker u will see the container is running.

Another solution if you don’t want to change all your containers is to run sudo ln -s /usr/bin/runc /usr/bin/docker-runc

my solution was to simply re-run and start new containers using docker-ce because apparently the existing containers were not compatible with docker-ce
