How to remove a Docker swarm Volume Reference for non existing Volume Driver

Docker Engine Swarm
1

Hi,

I’m playing around with Docker Swarm and with the RexRay Docker volume plugin.

Having the following scenario:

  • Install plugin rexray/dobs
  • Create volume vol1, driver rexray/dobs
  • Remove plugin rexray/dobs (volume was not removed before this step)

–
Outcome:

Docker swarm still has the reference to the volume vol1 but the RexRay plugin does not exist any more.

$ docker volume ls does not display the volume
$ docker volume prune has no effect on the vol1 volume

Test:

When trying to create a volume with the same name vol1, there is an error that a reference with that name was found and that there is an error looking up the driver.

Question:

Is there some way to remove the volume vol1 reference from the docker swarm as without the driver installed any more it cannot be removed.
