Kafka image (0.10.1.0) not working if /data is mounted from a volume

[anuragw]

I'm encountering a strange issue with your docker image. Without using a volume for /data, everything works just fine - no issues for several months now.

However, as soon as I create my kafka container using a volume mounted on /data, kafka becomes unusable. Have you encountered this issue, or could you look into it?

Other images such as hbase/elasticsearch etc. (for which I also use volumes) work just fine, so its not a problem with Docker toolbox/VBox/permissions etc.

Steps to reproduce: Create a container using (running this using VBox + git-bash + docker toolbox for windows: docker run -d -p 9092:9092 --link zookeeper:zookeeper
-e "KAFKA_ADVERTISED_HOST_NAME=192.168.99.100" -e "KAFKA_DELETE_TOPIC_ENABLE=true" -e "KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS=-Xmx512m"
*-v /c/Users/"$USERNAME"/data/kafka:/data * --name kafka ches/kafka:0.10.1.0

(Zookeeper previously started using: docker run -d -p 2181:2181 -v /c/Users/"$USERNAME"/data/zookeeper:/data
--name zookeeper zookeeper)

Subsequently, create a topic named "mytopic".

Now, try to connect to kafka (I use http://www.kafkatool.com/). The client throws the error: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.NotLeaderForPartitionException: This server is not the leader for that topic-partition.

Docker logs for kafka container show: [2018-06-01 16:28:15,108] ERROR [KafkaApi-0] Error when handling request {controller_id=0,controller_epoch=1,partition_states=[{topic=mytopic,partition=0,controller_epoch=1,leader=0,leader_epoch=0,isr=[0],zk_version=0,replicas=[0]}],live_leaders=[{id=0,host=192.168.99.100,port=9092}]} (kafka.server.KafkaApis) java.io.IOException: Invalid argument at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method) ... ...
