$ docker -d --storage-opt dm.blkdiscard=false
* `dm.override_udev_sync_check`
Overrides the `udev` synchronization checks between `devicemapper` and `udev`.
`udev` is the device manager for the Linux kernel.
To view the `udev` sync support of a Docker daemon that is using the
`devicemapper` driver, run:
$ docker info
[...]
Udev Sync Supported: true
[...]
When `udev` sync support is `true`, then `devicemapper` and udev can
coordinate the activation and deactivation of devices for containers.
When `udev` sync support is `false`, a race condition occurs between
the`devicemapper` and `udev` during create and cleanup. The race condition
results in errors and failures. (For information on these failures, see
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036))
To allow the `docker` daemon to start, regardless of `udev` sync not being
supported, set `dm.override_udev_sync_check` to true:
$ docker -d --storage-opt dm.override_udev_sync_check=true
When this value is `true`, the `devicemapper` continues and simply warns
you the errors are happening.
> **Note:**
> The ideal is to pursue a `docker` daemon and environment that does
> support synchronizing with `udev`. For further discussion on this
> topic, see [docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036).
> Otherwise, set this flag for migrating existing Docker daemons to
> a daemon with a supported environment.
