This problem happened when mounting external volumes to the container. With a host mounted directory mapped to the container, the problem did not happen. But not sure what might cause it not to work with externally mounter volumes. ---

I got the same issue when i tried to start node one by one after all node shutdown. I got above error message while trying to start 2nd node. so i shutdown the already started 1st node. Then i started the first 2nd node and secondly i started the 1st node. It means 2nd node had latest ssid compare to 1st node. This way my all node started and sync properly.
