Volume mounts in windows does not work

It is not possible to use my windows c-drive.

Am i doing something wrong or doesn’t it work if the computer is part of a active directory?

It is possible. What is the docker command you are running? The thing I find really frustrating is that volumes do not support normal Windows paths. Why not? Why must I use //c/ notation?

Also, it doesn’t appear to work with dashes in the path. I’m doing this in PowerShell with beta 9 and none actually mount the folder with a dash in it.

cd $home
mkdir a-b
echo 'test' > a-b\c.txt
docker run --rm -it -v C:\Users\cameron\a-b:/a-b ubuntu:14.04
docker run --rm -it -v //C/Users/cameron/a-b:/a-b ubuntu:14.04
docker run --rm -it -v //c/Users/cameron/a-b:/a-b ubuntu:14.04

Nevermind, I can’t get any volumes to mount in Docker for Windows.

docker run -i -t --rm --name myproject-v //c:/var/node -p 3000:3000 -e NODE_ENV=dockerdev inspirationlabs/nodejs:4.x-slim /bin/bash

/var/node is empty

I also tried

docker run -i -t --rm --name myproject-v /c:/var/node -p 3000:3000 -e NODE_ENV=dockerdev inspirationlabs/nodejs:4.x-slim /bin/bash

Also does not work for me.

I was told you must enable the shared drives. See the docs:
https://beta.docker.com/docs/windows/getting-started/#docker-settings

But even running that exact command docker run -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data, I am unable to list files in beta 10. With beta 11, the folders do not list either.

I have the same behavior. After enabling the shared drives, and running the command listed in the window

docker run -v c:/Users:/data alpine ls /data

There are no results. If I then run

docker run -v c:/:/data alpine ls -R /data

I get the following results

/data:
Users

/data/Users:

I can confirm @samneirinck observation

I can also confirm @samneirinck observation. Same symptom.

10

The same over here. I tried to use the share drive function but I can only see empty directories in the container.

11

Hi Cameron

I assume you have ticked the C drive box and provided your credentials before attempting to to run the command? If I do that then the command does show the expected contents

Thanks
Rolf

Hi Rolf,

Yes, I have ticked the C drive box. It just tested again on Docker version 1.11.1 (build 5604cbe) on the work Dell PC and it fails. I tested the same version on my personal laptop and it works. Both have the latest Windows 10 update. The work PC is using Active Directory Windows Auth if that matters. Any other differences or PC specs you would like me to report back?

thanks,
Cameron

13

Okay, i think Active Directory is the reason…

Well, I have the same issue but not using Active Directory. So the problem is probably not only tied to Active Directory. I can also confirm the behaviour as described by @samneirinck.
For your information I’m using the following:

  • Windows 10 Pro 1511 (10586.218)
  • Docker4Win 1.11.1-beta 10 build 2446

Restarting computer or resetting D4W and again enabling shared drive didn’t solve the issue.

(Not sure if it is important, but as Active Directory is mentioned: I’m using a local Windows account, not my Microsoft account.)

15

Hi Cameron

thanks for the confirmation. We do have some users which are joined in a Domain and I know it works for them. A few more questions, do either your Username or password contain a space?

Thanks
Rolf

16

Rolf, neither my username nor password contain a space.

17

thanks for the quick reply…next step would be to poke around in the VM a little. If you have time, it would be great if you could run:

docker run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -n mount
and
docker run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -n tail -50 /var/log/messages

preferably, after you have disabled sharing, reset credentials and the re-shared the drive.

Thanks in advance
Rolf

I’m experiencing the same problems as others.

docker run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -n mount

is returning

Mounting started working after I’ve changed my user password. Before the change it contained some unicode characters (russian letters). Seems that changing it to plain English fixed this problem for me.

Changing my domain password fixed it! Yay, I’m back in business.
