carbon-cache fails to start

I have graphite running in a docker container. If there is something done on the host machine(e.g. updates that require reboot) and the docker containers restart(containers set to --restart=always) sometimes carbon-cache fails to start.

See log file from supervisor(which is what I see people using in docker hub)

Also looked at the carbon-cache log file, but found no entries related to this.

I have looked to see if others have had this problem and came across a few, however there has been no answer to why this occurs and a solution.

Any ideas on why this occurs and if there is a solution to stop it happening?
