# Docker Analysis: 10.0.30.100 (2026-07-04) ## Host Info - **Host**: ubuntu (10.0.30.100) - **Storage Driver**: ZFS on `pool01_n2_redundant/docker` - **Docker Root**: `/var/lib/docker` - **Dataset USED**: 811 GB (includes snapshot overhead) - **Dataset REFER**: 491 GB (live data) - **Snapshot Overhead**: ~320 GB (deleted layers held by ZFS snapshots) - **ZFS Subdatasets**: 735 (was 744 before 2 paperless tags removed) - **Images**: 80 (before partial cleanup) - **Containers**: 5 running (47 config dirs total — many dead/stopped) - **Volumes**: 117 named + anonymous ## Daemon State: PARTIALLY RECOVERED Docker daemon was `active` but effectively non-functional: - `docker system df` crashed: `error getting build cache usage: failed to get usage for HASH: layer does not exist` - `docker ps` sometimes worked (intermittently), sometimes timed out - `docker images --format` returned empty output with exit 0 (silent failure) - `docker system prune` failed: `a prune operation is already running` - `docker rmi` for some images worked (2 paperless tags removed), most timed out - `journalctl -u docker` showed: `error creating zfs mount: mount pool/docker/HASH: no such file or directory` and `Error unmounting /var/lib/docker/zfs/graph/HASH: invalid argument` ## Recovery Attempt & Outcome 1. `systemctl restart docker` — hung in `deactivating` for 60s, then `stop-sigterm` timeout, SIGKILL 2. `dockerd` became zombie (``) 3. Killed leftover `containerd-shim-runc-v2` process 4. `systemctl restart containerd` — succeeded 5. `systemctl start docker` — entered `activating` state 6. After 2-3 minutes, daemon reached `active` (ZFS graphdriver scanned 735 subdatasets) 7. After restart: `docker ps` worked (5 containers up), but `docker images` returned empty and `docker system df` timed out 8. Triggered `docker image prune -a` — spawned `zfs destroy -r` for each layer, each entering D-state due to I/O contention with concurrent rsync 9. `zfs destroy` processes hung in D-state (uninterruptible) — blocked all subsequent Docker operations until each completed sequentially 10. Daemon remained `active` throughout — `docker ps` continued to work, but `docker images` stayed empty and `docker system df` timed out **Outcome**: Daemon IS up and serving containers, but graphdriver is degraded. `docker ps` works; `docker images` returns empty; `docker system df` times out. The `zfs destroy` cascade from `image prune -a` is still running sequentially in the background. ## `zfs destroy` D-State Under I/O Contention When Docker's ZFS graphdriver cleans up layers, it spawns `zfs destroy -r pool/docker/` for each removed layer. Under heavy pool I/O (e.g. concurrent rsync reading 300+ GB from the same ZFS pool), each `zfs destroy` enters **D-state (uninterruptible sleep)** and can take minutes per layer. **Symptoms:** - `ps aux | grep "zfs destroy"` shows process in `D` state - Docker CLI commands (`docker images`, `docker system df`) time out while destroy runs - `zpool iostat` shows high read throughput (rsync) but near-zero writes (destroy blocked) - The dataset being destroyed may already report "does not exist" in `zfs list` — the destroy is stuck in kernel metadata flush, not actual data deletion **Key insight:** This is NOT a permanent hang — `zfs destroy` eventually completes, but each one is serialized and I/O-starved. Docker appears broken during this window but is actually just waiting for ZFS to finish cleaning up. **Recovery:** Patience. Don't kill the `zfs destroy` process (D-state is immune to SIGKILL anyway). Wait for I/O contention to ease (e.g. let rsync finish), then Docker operations resume. If urgent, reduce concurrent I/O on the pool. ## Root Cause 735 ZFS subdatasets for Docker layers, several with corrupt ZFS mounts (`no such file or directory`). The ZFS graphdriver tries to mount each subdataset during daemon startup; corrupt ones cause indefinite hangs. The daemon cannot complete initialization. ## Complete Volume Size Inventory ### Named Volumes (all significant sizes) | Volume | Size | Purpose | |--------|------|---------| | embyconfig | 860 MB | Emby Media Server config | | jellyfin_jellyfin_config | 314 MB | Jellyfin config | | monitoring_prometheus_data | 146 MB | Prometheus metrics | | matomo | 134 MB | Matomo analytics | | monitoring_grafana_db | 61 MB | Grafana dashboards | | ghost-imkerei | 43 MB | Ghost blog (Imkerei) | | jellyfin_jellyfin_cache | 18 MB | Jellyfin cache | | grafana | 7.2 MB | Grafana (legacy?) | | handbrake_config | 3 MB | Handbrake config | | openproject_openproject_assets | 912 KB | OpenProject | | monitoring_alertmanager | 14 KB | Alertmanager config | | ethereum | 14 KB | Ethereum node | | monitoring_prometheus_alerts | 13 KB | Prometheus alerts | | monitoring_promtail_config | 7 KB | Promtail config | | monitoring_loki_config | 7 KB | Loki config | | bitmonero | 180 KB | Monero miner | | bienen_proxy | 59 KB | nginx proxy (Imkerei) | | ghost_proxy | 59 KB | nginx proxy (Ghost) | **Total named volumes: ~1.5 GB.** Volumes are NOT the space problem. ### Anonymous Volumes (hash names) ~100 volumes, all < 1 MB each.

Options: 1. **Rebuild (recommended)**: Stop docker, rename `/var/lib/docker`, restart with `overlay2` on a separate ext4/xfs volume, redeploy containers. Volumes on ZFS survive. 2. **Manual ZFS cleanup**: Find and `zfs destroy` corrupt subdatasets. Risky, time-consuming, may not fix all issues. ## All Unique Repos (60) alpine, apache/tika, bitnami/mongodb, bitnami/redis, buanet/iobroker, containrrr/watchtower, dschoen/jenkins-jekyll-docker, eclipse-mosquitto, emby/embyserver, exadel/compreface-{admin,api,core,fe}, flaresolverr/flaresolverr, gcr.io/cadvisor/cadvisor, ghcr.io/donkie/spoolman, ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant, ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning, ghcr.io/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx, ghost, giansalex/monero-miner, gotenberg/gotenberg, grafana/grafana, grafana/loki, grafana/promtail, homegear/homegear, hon95/prometheus-nut-exporter, influxdb, jakowenko/double-take, jellyfin/jellyfin, jlesage/handbrake, koush/scrypted, lanrat/hass-screenshot, lscr.io/linuxserver/bookstack, lscr.io/linuxserver/mariadb, mailserver2/mailserver, mailserver2/postfixadmin, mailserver2/rainloop, mariadb, matomo, memcached, mitmproxy/mitmproxy, mysql, nginx, openhab/openhab, oznu/homebridge, paperlessngx/paperless-ngx, portainer/portainer-ee, postgres, prom/alertmanager, prom/node-exporter, prom/prometheus, redis, registry, schoendominik/sma-emeter, seafileltd/seafile-mc, telegraf, thecodingmachine/gotenberg, traefik, vxcontrol/rancher-letsencrypt, willfarrell/autoheal
