Trying an example from the "Docker in Action" book.

Code: 
$docker run -d --name wp2 --link wpdb:mysql -p 80 --read-only wordpress:4

... should have triggered this error ...

Code: 
    Read-only file system: AH00023: Couldn't create the rewrite-map mutex
(file /var/lock/apache2/rewrite-map.1)”

but it did not.
It triggered a file descriptor error ...

Code: 
$docker logs wp2

The book suggested that we could make this work using volumes like so ...

Code: 
$docker run -d --name wp3 --link wpdb:mysql -p 80 -v /var/lock/apache2/ -v /var/run/apache2/ --read-only wordpress:4
305e62e18d926a54ac7d1a0fb775f61efdb61486d9d9245933c3b18055bd9856

container "seems" to start ok<br>
but it did not ...

Code: 
$docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

the logs say this ...

$docker logs wp3

I'm not sure why this is happening.
The book I am reading says that this should work.
I was not able to find any examples of anyone else who was getting this particular error.
Removing the --read-only flag entirely does work.
