+Important Note About Pre-3.8 Kernels
|
|
|
+------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+As mentioned above, kernels before 3.8 are not stable when used with docker.
|
|
|
+In some circumstances, you will experience kernel "oopses", or even crashes.
|
|
|
+The symptoms include:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- a container being killed in the middle of an operation (e.g. an ``apt-get``
|
|
|
+ command doesn't complete);
|
|
|
+- kernel messages including mentioning calls to ``mntput`` or
|
|
|
+ ``d_hash_and_lookup``;
|
|
|
+- kernel crash causing the machine to freeze for a few minutes, or even
|
|
|
+ completely.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+While it is still possible to use older kernels for development, it is
|
|
|
+really not advised to do so.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Docker checks the kernel version when it starts, and emits a warning if it
|
|
|
+detects something older than 3.8.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+See issue `#407 <https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/407>`_ for details.
