Dead containers break docker ps -a output

[schmunk42]

I have the exact same issue as mentioned in #985 (comment)

If there's a DEAD container in the swarm I can no longer use docker-compose or docker ps -a.

To work around this issue, I need to login to every swarm machine and find the DEAD containers:

root@tim-a1:~# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                                         COMMAND                   CREATED             STATUS                        PORTS               NAMES

Container removal throws an error...

root@tim-a1:~# docker rm -fv 7061
Error response from daemon: Driver aufs failed to remove init filesystem 7061ef7b78d573583126e92e814f414b6dcfedec5d4fa930b84b168cf3708a06-init: rename /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/7061ef7b78d573583126e92e814f414b6dcfedec5d4fa930b84b168cf3708a06-init /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt/7061ef7b78d573583126e92e814f414b6dcfedec5d4fa930b84b168cf3708a06-init-removing: device or resource busy

... but looks like it's gone now

root@tim-a1:~# docker rm -fv 7061
Error response from daemon: no such id: 7061
Error: failed to remove containers: [7061]

... and my swarm is working as expected afterwards.

Running swarm 1.0.0 and docker 1.9.0

FWIW, same issue with Docker 1.9.0 and Swarm 0.4.0 (gonna upgrade, yes, but might also be interesting to show the issue was already there in this version :)).
