Expected behavior The docker for mac beta uses all available disk space on the host until there is no more physical disk space available. Actual behavior Docker builds fail with: no space left on device when building an image that has a lot of debian deps. Information There is ~190GB of disk space…

It could be your partition layout is different than mine. The first ‘p’ should have output your partition table. Mine looks like: Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/vda1 2048 8196095 8194048 3.9G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/vda2 8196096 134217727 1…

This is becoming really really annoying. I think at the very least you should expose a config setting where one can set the directory location to another disk. And even better would be if the big images files were actually hosted and visible on the Mac, so one can manually remove a file or two whe…

Is there a viable workaround or solution this?? I am running into disk space limit as well and it’s capped at 18GB which is pretty small considering some of the images can be rather large. Version 1.12.1-rc1-beta23 (build: 11375) 2f0427ac7d4d47c705934ae141c3a248ed7fff40 El Capitan 10.11.5

is there no way to use a specified (external) disk for the space-consuming files? This is INCREDIBLY frustrating on a laptop with limited space.

I’m experiencing same problem, can’t launch any docker images because of that, this is quite annoying, are there any plans to fix this?

For me deleting the file Docker.qcow2 in /Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux and restarting docker solved the issue, but bear in mind that this will remove all your containers and images.

Our entire team uses docker and we use it to run integration tests on jenkins and locally on our environments. We constantly run out of space because of this issue :frowning: Hope it will be resolved in not very distant future. Right now we keep deleting the Docker.qcow2 file.

Have you been able to find anything about this? I really want to be able to move my docker images to an external disk as well. I could do this with docker-machine, but can’t find anything about this on Docker for Mac.

Bump. This is still an active issue for me with the most updated Docker Beta version.

About out of disk space, has anyone even seen something like this? We are using Docker 1.12.1 on our Jenkins slaves vApps in our CI infrastructure. We have a problem. Could you support us to explain what’s happen? Thanks in advance. Our main question is to know why docker-compose creates and kee…
