Details

Docker in daemon mode has specific kernel requirements. A 3.10 Linux kernel is the

minimum requirement for Docker.Kernels older than 3.10 lack some of the features required to run Docker containers. These

older versions are known to have bugs which cause data loss and frequently panic under

certain conditions. The latest minor version (3.x.y) of the 3.10 (or a newer maintained

version) Linux kernel is thus recommended. Additionally, using the updated Linux kernels

ensures that critical kernel bugs found earlier are fixed.
