Pods stuck in Terminating status
You can use following command to delete the POD forcefully.
kubectl delete pod <PODNAME> --grace-period=0 --force --namespace <NAMESPACE>
Force delete the pod:
kubectl delete pod --grace-period=0 --force --namespace <NAMESPACE> <PODNAME>The --force flag is mandatory.
The original question is "What could be the reason for this issue?" and the answer is discussed at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/51835 & https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/65569 & see https://www.bountysource.com/issues/33241128-unable-to-remove-a-stopped-container-device-or-resource-busy
Its caused by docker mount leaking into some other namespace.
You can logon to pod host to investigate.
minikube sshdocker container ps | grep <id>docker container stop <id>
