Mount point not found

This error is caused by the docker container you are running this application in. Look at the bug report here:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8165852


We ran into the same issue, when running a custom elasticsearch container on OS X. The container was built on docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.3.0. However, the container started up cleanly on a similar environment, which seemed suspicious.

The problem was finally resolved, when we noticed that docker info showed different storage drivers for us. AUFS seems to work, where as overlay2 does not. It can be changed, but you will have to refetch and rebuild your current containers.


I had this error in the last days using the elasticsearch docker image in Docker for Mac. I have fixed the issue change the storage driver from overlay2 to aufs (not sure yet about the real impact of this change). You can change the store driver:

  • Docker preferences
  • Daemon tab
  • Advanced tab
  • Edit the json like this:

    { "storage-driver" : "aufs" }

I hope it helps you
