Saving image postgres:9.4 failed due to save image layers failed: Failed to read from acrhive stream

[mhagen-vmware]

I am working on the new archive tests, busybox and ubuntu passed but postgres failed on this command:

bin/imagec -insecure-skip-verify -reference postgres:9.4 -destination /tmp/save/postgres:9.4 -standalone -debug -operation save -host dhcp-192-168-31-147.ci.drone.local:2380 -image-store 564d26db-1224-de10-9098-c5f13a93996d

Not sure if it is related or not, but it looks like:
export failed: Number of virtual devices exceeds the maximum for a given controller.
started to happen with this test only.

docker diff does not work on this container at all:

docker -H 192.168.254.148:2375 diff postgres
Error response from daemon: Server error from portlayer: Server error from portlayer: Server error from archive reader for device 752573d5a7a5e233a0fda8e3443d5247e5f2bb530deb9a696bd8b2a05b5b3f22

@stuclem Release note: Docker diff does not fully work with all containers with VIC 1.2. Docker cp and exec should still work though. If you see archive errors while using docker cp, then please file a bug.

Forgot to post the release note here:

---

• docker diff does not fully work with all containers. #6059
  Running docker diff on certain containers, for example postgres, results in Error response from daemon: Server error from portlayer: Server error from portlayer: Server error from archive reader for device.

---

@mhagen-vmware is this OK?
