Description

Hi,
Loading a tar image from our ansible scripts failed without throwing any error. Our image was not created because operation filled our /var partition.

The image came from a local tar file.
The error is probably inside docker/api/image.py / load_image()

Hope it helps and will make such very cool tools more reliable.
Regards,

Guillaume

Research direction

Start in docker/api/image.py at load_image() and inspect how errors from loading a local tar image are handled. Reproduce the reported disk-full case if possible and verify that the no-space-left-on-device failure is propagated as an exception rather than treated as a successful load.
