After upgrading from version 0.6.7 to 0.7.0, the docker daemon won't start successfully and /etc/init.d/docker status returns "crashed". Old, working setting: app-emulation/docker-0.6.7 with sys-fs/aufs3-3_p20131111-r1 and kernel-patch use flag New non-working settings: app-emulation/docker-0.7.0, either with device-mapper, aufs, or both use flags enabled.

Can you attach a copy of your current /etc/init.d/docker ? I'm a little perplexed by the lines you're seeing in /var/log/messages myself. We don't do anything with the "lxc" init script, since Docker handles all the LXC for us.
Also, can you try running "sudo docker -d -D" in a terminal, and paste the output here?
I am very sorry that I reverted back to 0.6.7 to go on with my work, and after doing so, my existing container just could not work. It cost me hours of hours, so I am reluctant to upgrade again now. On 0.6.7, I get: $ docker -d -D [/var/lib/docker|aeb22dca] +job initapi() [/var/lib/docker|aeb22dca.initapi()] Creating server [/var/lib/docker|aeb22dca] -job initapi() = ERR (mkdir /var/lib/docker/containers: permission denied) 2013/12/01 09:27:50 initapi: mkdir /var/lib/docker/containers: permission denied However, everything is working fine. I have my user in the docker group, so never call it with sudo/as root.

Well, until we can get some more information, there's not much we can do here, so marking closed for now, thanks.
OK, so I made another attempt, making sure I have no container running during update. Also in the meantime I have switched to systemd, but I guess that does not matter. Anyway, I am still seeing the same issue, and here is the output of docker -d -D (as root), as requested: # docker -d -D [/var/lib/docker|b37b9940] +job initapi() [/var/lib/docker|b37b9940.initapi()] Creating server [debug] runtime.go:638 Using graph driver aufs [/var/lib/docker|b37b9940] -job initapi() = ERR (EOF) 2013/12/06 10:02:51 initapi: EOF Before that, I run: # systemctl start docker.service # systemctl status docker.service docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/docker.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2013-12-06 10:00:23 CST; 33s ago Docs: http://docs.docker.io Process: 9017 ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker -d (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 9015 ExecStartPre=/bin/mount --make-rprivate / (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 9017 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Dec 06 10:00:23 pelvoux systemd[1]: Started Docker Application Container Engine.

I tried again upgrading this time deleting /var/lib/docker, and the daemon can now start successfully. I then had to rebuild my containers, and this went well too, it is now working.
Thanks for reporting back! Glad we could help you work through a few things over IRC - you know where to find us if you have further issues or questions! :)
now closing.
