Upon executing docker run -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y' -e 'SA_PASSWORD=<YourStrong!Passw0rd>' -p 1433:1433 microsoft/mssql-server-linux, I encounter the following message:

@au-phiware I tried running the exact command that you provided and it worked ok for me. In my case I was using Docker for Windows, but I've done essentially the same thing recently on RHEL and Docker for Mac. I'm wondering - is that the exact command you used or did you possibly try mounting a volume using docker run -v?

[au-phiware]

Hi @twright-msft, you are right I did run it with -v initially (that's how I got the log contents) but before posting I made sure to run that exact command. I tried a number of variations, all had exactly the same output, and I'm assuming the setup log is the same too. So, I could be wrong, is it likely that the log would be different? I could copy the file out if you suspect there's something in that...?

[au-phiware]

I have no doubt that there must be something particular about my kernel or filesystem. I use Gentoo and build my own kernel from git (the stable branch) but I'm not doing anything special there. I use zfs and so the docker storage driver is zfs too, could it be that there's an issue with accessing metadata or something else to do with the filesystem?

[au-phiware]

Just to be sure I tried on my home machine (also Gentoo and ZFS) and used docker cp to retrieve the errorlog file. Here's what happened:

[twright-msft]

We havent done any testing on Gentoo/zfs yet. It's definitely possible there is an issue there with the kernel/file system.

[au-phiware]

Is there any further information that I can provide? Or turn on verbose logging?

[rouke-broersma]

I am having this exact same issue on Docker for windows.

[twright-msft]

One thing to check, especially if you are using Docker for Windows or Docker for Mac is that you adjust the amount of RAM that Docker Engine has available to it.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#/advanced
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/#/advanced

[rouke-broersma]

The mssql image shows a clear and specific error message when docker engine has less than 4gb ram available. This is not the error I was getting. After a full docker reset the issue seems to have gone away now though.

[laurentleseigneur]

having same issue and error message using mac and docker v1.13 with 4gb memory

when mounting volume with -v option to bind /var/opt/mssql, we can see logs but .mdf id failing with error 87.

workaround is to start without this -v option, it works, but .mdf file are inside container

[twright-msft]

@laurentleseigneur This is a known issue with macOS and -v. We have a separate issue tracking that. #12
For now, you can use an attached Docker container volume for database file storage.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/tutorials/dockervolumes/#/creating-and-mounting-a-data-volume-container

[laurentleseigneur]

thanks @twright-msft for pointing this known issue, i will give a try to a docker compose using a container volume to store .mdf files

[sirio3mil]

I had the same error and I solved it by erasing the images and containers and re-creating them.

Docker version 1.13.1, build 092cba3
Windows 10 build 15031.rs2_release.170204-1546

[PatrickDePuydt]

@twright-msft Thanks for this thread; came here because I'm experiencing the same issue. I wanted to see if my case is a part of the known issue because I'm using mounted data volume containers.

In my docker-compose.yml I have a service that is configured:

  mssql:
    build: ./mssql
    env_file:
    - .env
    ports:
    - "1433:1433"
    volumes:
    - ./mssql/volumes/data:/var/opt/mssql

But when I pull up the logs from docker logs <container iD> It spits out:

2017-03-08 20:01:34.80 Server      Error: 17113, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2017-03-08 20:01:34.80 Server      Error 87(The parameter is incorrect.) occurred while opening file 'C:\var\opt\mssql\data\master.mdf' to obtain configuration information at startup. An invalid startup option might have caused the error. Verify your startup options, and correct or remove them if necessary.

Is this part of the the known issue?
