Steps to reproduce the behavior

(1) Run three MySQL containers, using scripts listed in mysql-replication-samples/docker-replication.
The image used is mysql/mysql-server.

Run this command to start three MySQL containers, using a volume for data directory
The files are created under $HOME/docker/mysql

./deploy-nodes.sh

(2) Then, remove the containers

./remove-nodes.sh

(3) Repeat the above commands a few times. Depending on the amount of RAM assigned to Docker, operations may succeed a few times before failing.

Running the same operations without volumes ( export SKIP_VOLUME=1) will run many times without failures.
