 **Fixes:**
 - Modified log messages about ONTAP media types not associated with performance classes (Issue [#158](https://github.com/NetApp/trident/issues/158)).
+- **Docker:** Resolved issue where containers might not restart after restarting Docker (Issue [#160](https://github.com/NetApp/trident/issues/160)).
 
 **Enhancements:**
 - Added ability to set snapshotReserve in backend config files, volume creation options, and PVC annotations (Issue [#43](https://github.com/NetApp/trident/issues/43)).
