Running ECE install produces the following log message in Docker before erroring out. Any help resolving this problem is much appreciated.

Interesting, I've never seen this before

My guess would be that either the FS is unsupported, or the permissions in `/mnt/data/docker` and/or `/mnt/data/elastic` are wrong. What user are you running as, what are the permissions/FS etc?
