My builds on ppc64le have been failing for the past day. I am running docker build where file contains
FROM arm64v8/ubuntu:xenial
ARG PLATFORM=arm64v8
RUN apt update
This is the branch of the repo. A few weeks ago it built with no problems. Any ideas?
Here is a snippet of the error

@mattip. There were some backend changes made recently which are causing this failure and is only seen for ubuntu container.
We are also seeing input/output errors, like in this build https://travis-ci.com/github/pypa/manylinux/jobs/379354273
Just want to say that we are experiencing similar issues. Invoking apt-get inside docker build causes the build to fail due to “Invalid cross-device link”. This issue seems to have come up before https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/480
but the cause appears to be different this time.
According to https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/480#issuecomment-438850163, this happens in overlayfs when its upper and work are on different filesystems, in violation of the driver’s requirements. In kernel 4.19, a default for overlayfs was changed which apparently made this failure mode more prominent.
https://travis-ci.com/github/native-api/test_travis/builds/192296826 shows that currently, both upper and work are in /var/lib/docker/overlay2. And I can’t reproduce the error with apt install wget.
This failure has been resolved now.
