<p>I found the bug below on the above "devicemapper" at bugzilla.redhat.com. It let me install the "device-mapper-persistent-data" package. However, when I installed it, I received the following error.</p>

<p>I tried to use <a href="https://github.com/google/cadvisor/pull/1476" rel="nofollow">this link</a> to solve the error, however, I still haven't managed to solve it.</p>

<p>This is what I tried:</p>

<pre><code>1. update the libcontainer dependency
2. look at all cgroup mounts
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the error:</p>

<p>for me, it worked with the next docker-compose setup. It's true I have not tested it completely. I will update the post as soon as possible. But if it helps up to this moment to someone, perfect.</p>
<pre><code>  cadvisor:
  image: google/cadvisor:latest
  container_name: monitoring_cadvisor
  restart: unless-stopped
  volumes:
    - /:/rootfs:ro
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw

</code></pre>
<p>I updated the docker.sock path. cadvisor wasn't able to find the containers without the direct link.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
