docker fails with Invalid cross-device link [SOLVED]

Hi,

I am quite surprised this is happened because I am sure I ran exactly this command line a couple of months ago on arch and had no troubles. Now running ubuntu 16.04 on docker from arch I get:

docker run -it ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash                                                                                                     
root@fa8067909ccb:/# cd
root@fa8067909ccb:~# apt-get update
...
root@fa8067909ccb:~# apt-get install emacs-nox

Does anybody know what's going on? If you try these 3 commands, do you get the same?
