Only known workaround is to install the older docker-machine version to run inside a VM or use Vagrant.

• Concourse version: 2.6.0
• Deployment type (BOSH/Docker/binary): Docker Compose using the 'Native' docker for mac following the installation instructions here: https://concourse.ci/docker-repository.html
• Infrastructure/IaaS: Mac OSX 10.12; Docker version 1.13.1; docker-compose version 1.11.1, build 7c5d5e4 (Not running inside docker-machine/Docker Toolbox)
• Unsure if this previously worked on Native Docker for Mac.

docker-machine-nfs instead of just running AUFS?

https://github.com/adlogix/docker-machine-nfs

This is how I set it up in my makefile:

vm:
# IF virtualbox is desired, for example when you want to enable deployment of
# docker-compose machine stack to an AWS-instance or similar.
	docker-machine create -d virtualbox \
		--virtualbox-memory "5000" \
		--virtualbox-cpu-count 2 \
		--virtualbox-disk-size "100000" \
		--engine-insecure-registry docker-registry-1:5000 ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME}
		sleep 5
		docker-machine stop ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME}
ifeq ($(OS),Darwin)
		#Give VM bridged network: https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/1491
		VBoxManage list bridgedifs
		VBoxManage modifyvm ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME} --nic3 bridged --bridgeadapter3 "en4: Tunderbolt Ethernet Slot 2" --cableconnected3 on
		docker-machine start ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME}
		docker-machine regenerate-certs ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME}
		# Give VM NFS Mounts:
		docker-machine-nfs ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME} --shared-folder=/Users --shared-folder=/private --shared-folder=/Volumes --shared-folder=/data
		echo "eval '$$(/usr/local/bin/docker-machine env ${VIRTUALBOX_NAME})'" | sudo tee -a /etc/profile
endif
.PHONY: vm

This is likely the same issue \ highly related to: #896

[Nelyus]

For information, I have the same issue

• concourse: 2.7.0
• docker for Mac: 17.03.0-ce-mac2 (15654)

EDIT:
It works after doing this :
go to Docker-for-mac preferences > Daemon > Advanced.
Enter

{
  "storage-driver" : "aufs"
}

Workarround suggested by Nelyus works...

Hi there, it appears your question has been answered. I'm going to close this now but I've tagged this with several labels so that we can reference it when we get to later stories around improving documentation and troubleshooting.

FYI: Workarround suggested by Nelyus worked for me on Windows 10 too
