Can't mount a volume in windows

[danielcaldwell]

Expected behavior

If I use -v in the docker command, I expect it to mount my volume.

Actual behavior

I get a directory, but it is empty. The files in the directory are not copied over.

Information

• the output of:

  • Moby Notification > Diagose & Feedback on Windows
    I don’t see a diagnose and feedback option.

• Operating System
  My OS is Windows 10 Pro x64

Steps to reproduce the behavior

This is the command list that I did:

Am I specifying the directory wrong? If I try C:, it errors. I tried upgrading to 11.2, but it didn’t work at all so I had to scrub docker from the computer and reinstall the older version. Any ideas? Thanks!

It looks like maybe the Docker VM does not have your C: mounted. Did you configure it in the “Shared Drives” page?

I’m also stuck with exactly the same problem. waiting for help.
