------------------------------------

             Summary: Large docker images make the mesos containerizer crash with: Too many levels of symbolic links
                 Key: MESOS-6327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6327
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: containerization, docker
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0
         Environment: centos 7.2 (1511), ubuntu 14.04 (trusty). Replicated in the Apache Aurora vagrant image
            Reporter: Rogier Dikkes
            Priority: Critical


When deploying Mesos containers with large (6G+, 60+ layers) Docker images the task crashes with the error: 


Mesos agent logs: 
E1007 08:40:12.954227  8117 slave.cpp:3976] Container 'a1d759ae-5bc6-4c4e-ac03-717fbb8e5da4' for executor 'thermos-www-data-devel-hello_docker_image-0-d42d2af6-6b44-4b2b-be95-e1ba93a6b365' of framework df

... (complete pastebin: http://pastebin.com/umZ4Q5d1 )

How to replicate:
Start the aurora vagrant image. Adjust the /etc/mesos-slave/executor_registration_timeout to 5 mins. Adjust the file /vagrant/examples/jobs/hello_docker_image.aurora to start a large Docker image instead of the example. (you can use anldisr/jupyter:0.4 i created as a test image, this is based upon the jupyter notebook stacks.). Create the job, watch it fail after x number of minutes. 

The mesos sandbox is empty. 

Aurora errors i see:

Too many levels of symbolic links ; Container destroyed while provisioning images

To rule out the image i started this and more images as a normal Docker container. This works without issues. 

Mesos flags related configured: 
-appc_store_dir 
/tmp/mesos/images/appc
-containerizers 
docker,mesos
-executor_registration_timeout 
5mins
-image_providers 
appc,docker
-image_provisioner_backend 
copy
-isolation 
filesystem/linux,docker/runtime

Affected Mesos versions tested: 1.0.1 & 1.0.0
