Cannot start Docker due to MobyLinuxVM virtual disk sharing issue

rmcleanids · July 8, 2016, 1:59pm

Expected behavior

Docker starts up correctly and creates the MobyLinuxVM

Actual behavior

Docker initializes then fails when it cannot create the MobyLinuxVM in Hyper-V due to hard disk sharing not being supported. Producing error in log: The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual hard disk sharing.

So, I had the same problem and I used to solve it!
Here’s what I’ve did:

I’ve installed all windows updates for my Windows 10 x64
Reinstalled Hyper-V
After that Docker managed to create a VM and everything works) Good luck!

rmcleanids · July 13, 2016, 8:14am

Awesome, it worked! Thanks!

Hyper-V was the issue, once it was removed, machine rebooted, hyper-v added, machine rebooted, Docker started (and failed), machine rebooted then I could see MobyLinuxVM in Hyper-V along with Docker starting successfully!

I had tried reinstalling Hyper-V in the past however I don’t believe I did the reboot between adding and removing, which was a rookie error on my part.

Thanks again.

bmcguirk · July 28, 2016, 5:16pm

+1 for uninstalling Hyper-V, rebooting, re-installing, rebooting. Worked perfectly. Thanks to you all.
