docker: Error response from daemon: Failed to create btrfs snapshot: invalid argument

Run 'docker run --help' for more information

The command failed.

The cache drive is formatted as encrypted btrfs, it's been that way for over a year. I am still using USB boot. I am using docker folders not docker img. Google searches recommend changing the format to xfs but it's odd it would have work fine and now I need to change the format?

No errors in the syslog and a btrfs scrub completed with no errors. Cache drive has 450 Gb of 500 Gb free, no smart errors and 85% life left.

Attached are diags. Thanks for the help!

To be fair, the linked guide does not cover docker directories and there is no delete button.

It's the same with a folder; you can delete it if you stop the Docker service. Also recommend using a Docker image instead, since Docker folders can have strange issues.

Thanks. Can't remember why I was using folders over the image. I changed it to the image and pulled the containers down again. I appreciate it.
