Docker does not free up disk space after container, volume and image removal

# Versions & co ## Docker Docker version ``` bash $ docker version Client: Version: 1.8.2 API version: 1.20 Go version: go1.4.2 Git commit: 0a8c2e3 Built: Thu Sep 10 19:19:00 UTC 2015 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 Server: Version: 1.8.2 API version: 1.20 Go version: go1.4.2 Git commit: 0a8c2e3 Built: Thu Sep 10 19:19:00 UTC 2015 OS/Arch: linux/amd64 ``` Docker info: ``` bash $ docker info Containers: XXX Images: XXX Storage Driver: aufs Root Dir: /var/lib/docker/aufs Backing Filesystem: extfs Dirs: XXX Dirperm1 Supported: true Execution Driver: native-0.2 Logging Driver: json-file Kernel Version: 3.19.0-26-generic Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS CPUs: 1 Total Memory: XXX GiB Name: XXX ID: XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX ``` ## Operating system Linux 3.19.0-26-generic #28~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 12 14:09:17 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # Issue Here is how I currently deploy my application: 1. Build a new image based on a new version of my application code 2. Up a new container based on the image created in `1` 3. Remove the previous container and its volume with the command `docker rm -v xxxxx` 4. Remove all the unused images with `docker rmi $(docker images -q)` However, little by little, I'm running out of disk space. I made sure I don't have any orphan volumes, unused containers and images, etc... I found [a post on a forum](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27853571/why-is-docker-image-eating-up-my-disk-sp
