Let me add 2 more symptoms: 1) dockerd can exit due to SIGSEGV. The issue does NOT always happen: after such a failure, sometimes a retry can succeed.
# systemctl start docker; systemctl status docker Job for docker.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process.

It looks the issues are more likely caused by dockerd itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719045 Title: [Hyper-V] Docker failures with linux-azure 4.11.0-1011 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+bug/1719045/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
