docker: Warn about broken host setup based on aufs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is a nasty problem with legacy aufs: wic tries to find out the
block size of the filesystem that holds the partition images, but aufs
does not seem to implement this properly, returning 0 at least on Debian
Jessie. That makes wic become upset and through a division-by-zero
exception soon after.

Catch this case by warning the user about the inappropriate docker
setup during container start.

WARNING: Generation of wic images will fail!
Your docker host setup uses broken aufs as storage driver. Adjust the docker
configuration to use a driver (overlay, overlay2, devicemapper). You may also
need to update the host distribution (e.g. Debian Jessie -> Stretch).
