Same problem here.

For example. doing 'docker run --rm swarm create' results in a ':
mainFATA[0002] Error response from daemon: : exit status 2 '. with the
following noted in journalctl:

Version 1.5 seems to work on Fedora 20, but fails if updated to 1.6 from the
updates-testing.

Work-around seems to be to use 1.5.  However, Fedora 21 only has 1.3 and 1.6
available in the repositories.

They says it's related to patches specific to Redhat/Fedora.

We are seeing this last version as well with docker 1.6 on RHEL7.1 - tar is
installed, so it's failing in some other way. Not making the correct folders?

Hi Marcus,

I believe the issue mentioned in Comment #5 is
https://github.com/openshift/origin/issues/2579 and unrelated to this bug.
