Mounting volume /usr/share/timezoneinfo gives an empty folder in the box

Docker Desktop

This issue is observed in Docker for Mac. Tried to run the same steps on a linux box, where it works as expected

Expected behavior

“ls /usr/share/zoneinfo” should list the content of the host’s content of the same folder

Actual behavior

“ls /usr/share/zoneinfo” shows an empty directory

  • a reproducible case if this is a bug, Dockerfiles FTW
  • page URL if this is a docs issue or the name of a man page
  • host distribution and version ( OSX 10.10.x, OSX 10.11.x, Windows, etc )

Steps to reproduce the behavior

docker run -it -v /usr/share/zoneinfo:/usr/share/zoneinfo busybox
/ # ls /usr/share/zoneinfo

just for the beta you should prepend your mount point with /Mac i.e.

docker run -it -v /Mac/usr/share/zoneinfo:/usr/share/zoneinfo busy box
