问题描述：

有一台使用中的docker突然发生了故障，然后启动docker失败。

机器的系统版本：CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)

最后将这台机器的docker卸载后重装，但是docker还是起不来，启动docker报“Error starting daemon: SELinux is not supported with the overlay2 graph driver on this kernel.”的错误。具体的报错信息如下：

[root@registry lib]# systemctl start docker
Job for docker.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[root@registry lib]# systemctl status docker.service

原因分析：

根据报错信息“Error starting daemon: SELinux is not supported with the overlay2 graph driver on this kernel. Either boot into a newer kernel or disabl...nabled=false)”的提示，这台机器的linux的内核中的SELinux不支持 overlay2 graph driver 。 解决方法有两个，要么启动一个新内核，要么就在docker配置文件里面里禁用selinux，--selinux-enabled=false

解决方法：

没有启动新的内核，修改的docker配置文件。将配置文件的“--selinux-enabled”改成“--selinux-enabled=false”，然后再重启docker。

[root@registry lib]# cat /etc/sysconfig/docker
# /etc/sysconfig/docker

# Modify these options if you want to change the way the docker daemon runs
#OPTIONS='--selinux-enabled --log-driver=journald --signature-verification=false'

OPTIONS='--selinux-enabled=false --log-driver=journald --signature-verification=false --registry-mirror=https://fzhifedh.mirror.aliyuncs.com --insecure-registry=registry.sese.com'    #修改这里的"--selinux-enabled"，改成"--selinux-enabled=false"
if [ -z "${DOCKER_CERT_PATH}" ]; then
    DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/etc/docker
fi

......   #配置文件后面的内容省略
[root@registry lib]#

然后重新启动docker，就正常启动了：

[root@registry lib]# systemctl start docker
[root@registry lib]# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAME

[root@registry lib]#
