List the steps to reproduce the issue:
rethinkdb:
1.

docker run -ti  -d --restart=always --name shipyard-rethinkdb-qa  rethinkdb

docker: Error response from daemon: mkdir /data/docker/overlay/e808ebab6a8aa82acfe27f2b147f164f747606aee78cb34714a3a40f60587a62-init/merged/dev/shm: invalid argument.

rancher agent:
1.

sudo docker run -d --privileged -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /var/lib/rancher:/var/lib/rancher stargate.lufax.tool/rancher/agent:v0.9.0 http://172.19.48.3:8080/v1/scripts/D8411D6DCA17E45CE30E:1456243200000:pTHp5MYII1LmtgKUUszpBQZDpFk

docker: Error response from daemon: mkdir /data/docker/overlay/c7d0f314c8ea4993da8ee27f44222adf0a24f639ac5f0195360326488ed523ed-init/merged/dev/shm: invalid argument.

Describe the results you received:
But rancher-agent & rethinkdb can run on docker with devicemapper.

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a65ea64eccde7d3e0ba3 is my capture of the docker logs related to this issue.

[yutian1224]

I realised that docker can not work prefectly on RHEL/Centos.
The problem is gone when I change node OS to Ubuntu.

[erikh]

I am also seeing this on redhat

RHEL/CentOS both use a backport of Overlay to kernel 3.10. This means it might lack some specific changes made to Overlay are missing or that the kernel features it's using aren't exactly the same as they are in the newer kernels.

@rhvgoyal Do you happen to know if the issues encountered on Overlay with the 3.10 kernel on RHEL/CentOS are being investigated? Will there be an update to fix these issues?

[rhvgoyal]

I am not sure if this shm issue is related to overlay.

@dwalsh any idea?

[justincormack]

Certainly the rethinkdb works fine on other overlay based distros, so it seems a rhel specific issue.

[thaJeztah]

Perhaps someone can open an issue in https://bugzilla.redhat.com ?

@yutian1224 Red Hat says you should use ext4 when using Overlay on RH 7.1:

It is recommended to use ext4 as the lower file system; the use of xfs and gfs2 file systems is not supported.

On RH 7.2, however, you should use xfs instead

[thaJeztah]

Let me close this ticket for now, as it looks like it went stale, and this was about the legacy overlay driver, which has been deprecated and removed.
