ERROR: for kubelet linux mounts: Path /var/lib/kubelet is mounted on / but it is not a shared mount.

Just starting on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Docker 1.11.1 and I'm receiving the message:

ERROR: for kubelet  linux mounts: Path /var/lib/kubelet is mounted on / but it is not a shared mount.

What can I provide/help with to chase down and squash this?

Fixed with https://github.com/weaveworks/kubernetes-anywhere/blob/master/FIXES.md

I'm having the same issue and that link no longer works. Any clues to what you did to fix the problem?

Basically everything in the project has changed since July/August and this theoretically shouldn't be an issue anymore. Can you please provide additional details about how you're running this?

• Have you updated your checkout?
• Are you running against GCE or Azure?
• Where are you receiving this message? On all nodes, just the master?

Additionally, it would be helpful if you can provide your .config.json file from the root of your checkout (you should redact any passwords or secrets in it).

Not using this project, but running into the same error with Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS and Docker 1.11.X.

I can't provide support for that project and that issue was not occurring in this project while I was working on it.

If I might suggest anything it would be to look at the mount propagation flags for docker. For example, we reset them to be shared: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes-anywhere/blob/master/phase1/azure/configure-vm.sh#L9

I was also getting docker: Error response from daemon: linux mounts: Path /var/lib/kubelet is mounted on / but it is not a shared mount.. when trying to launch k8s locally. bind-mounting that dir and making it shared seemed to fix the problem:

sudo mount -o bind /var/lib/kubelet /var/lib/kubelet
sudo mount --make-shared /var/lib/kubelet
