During the start-up of my Fedora powered laptop I noticed in the boot messages list that some service has failed to start. Looking more closely I noticed that docker-storage-setup.service was failing, now, let’s go down the rabbit hole. First thing i checked were logs, of course, and journalctl -u docker-storage-setup said: Jun 16 21:44:48 scotty.tomica.local docker-storage-setup[1096]: ERROR: Docker has been previously configured for use with devicemapper graph driver.
