I’ve been seeing the same.

It’s intermittent. I’m guessing there’s some race condition going on where the engine doesn’t wait long enough for the lock to release. The docker-compose up command will hang for ~2-3 secs, then die with this error. I see it when I’m up’ing a docker compose file that has an ngnix service that has ~10 links.

also seeing this regularly on 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 (about 2-3 times today so far). Workaround is to restart the docker daemon.

Also seeing it regularly using docker-compose on 1.12.0-rc4-beta20 (build: 10404).
