filesystem layer verification failed for digest

Question

How to fix the docker problem? when I use the latest EC2 and docker (1.9.1) whatever the image is, they always tell me this error: """ filesystem layer verification failed for digest sha256 """

What should I do?

I had pretty much the same issue, but for me it occured when I was pulling and verifying multiple images at the same time. I guess that is not the case in your scenario? For me it resolved when I stopped pulling in images in parallel. – Audley

Answer 1

That looks like an error from a trusted sandbox.
But it has been seen in other context, like issue 15603

Try and stop/restart the docker daemon, and remove all images

 sudo service docker stop
 sudo service docker start
 docker images -q | xargs docker rmi

Answer 2

I am run into this problem when running ubuntu on virtualbox, finally I found it may because of the virtualbox software has broken. After reinstall virtualbox, everything is ok(VM created before is still working, no need to crate new VM).

at same time, when I run:

apt update

I get this error:

This happened to me when I was out of disk space.

Answer 4

I resolved removing the content of /var/lib/docker/ (but attention!! in this way you will remove all images, containers, and configurations)

rm -rf /var/lib/docker/*

then

service docker stop
service docker start
