Container Docker does not starta "no space left on device"

Question

I am facing the problem with Docker I had a container that was running when it hit the 10G, and without knowing it I of a stop in it and now it does not start.

# docker start ambient-dev
Error response from daemon: invalid header field value "oci runtime error: container_linux.go:247: starting container process caused \"process_linux.go:359: container init caused \\\"rootfs_linux.go:90: jailing process inside rootfs caused \\\\\\\"can't create pivot_root dir , error mkdir /home/Docker/docker/devicemapper/mnt/cbac9dcaab97a08bf5b12707240db477a871807650ba545480083cffee3e3817/rootfs/.pivot_root428549510: no space left on device\\\\\\\"\\\"\"\n"
Error: failed to start containers: ambient-dev

I can’t commit the container either:

docker commit ambient-dev rubeus/teste
Error response from daemon: ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout:  stderr: write /var/www/html/unifemm/unifemm_processo_seletivo.sql: no space left on device

I needed to get this container back, but I’m running out of ideas and the google search hasn’t been very fruitful, if anyone can help me.

Answer 1

In my case I was able to access the container again using Docker export and Docker import and creating a new container based on the image I got in import. Now I’m leaving the answer here because who knows can help someone who comes across this same situation.
