Consistently out of disk space in docker beta

Docker Desktop

Unfortunately you can’t currently reclaim the space like that:

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity  iused ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/disk1     112Gi  111Gi  330Mi   100% 29237368 84358  100%   /
...

Then:

$ docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
...
$ docker rmi $(docker images -q)
...

And still:

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity  iused ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/disk1     112Gi  111Gi  329Mi   100% 29237470 84256  100%   /
...

And the problem is the sparse file:

$ ls -lh ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/Docker.qcow2
-rw-r--r--  1 amouat  staff   9.3G 25 Apr 15:15 /Users/amouat/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/Docker.qcow2

The only fix I know of is to delete the file and start again, which obviously wipes out all your images and containers :frowning:
