Package: podman Version: 3.0.1+dfsg1-1 Severity: serious Hello,
After installing podman, I cannot run it as root out of the box as it fails with: ERRO[0000] [graphdriver] prior storage driver overlay failed: kernel does not support overlay fs: 'overlay' is not supported over extfs at "/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay": backing file system is unsupported for this graph driver Error: kernel does not support overlay fs: 'overlay' is not supported over extfs at "/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay": backing file system is unsupported for this graph driver Looking at fedora it seems that they have a containers-common package that ships a default storage.conf file: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/containers-common/blob/rawhide/f/storage.conf I see that the debian package is shipping a file in /usr/share/containers/storage.conf (in the containers-storage package), but that file is apparently not read (strace only shows that the file in /etc/containers is read) and anyway unlike in fedora: 1) the driver is not set to overlay 2) the file is installed only if the containers-storage package is installed, which is not done by default. 3) that file is not read anyway, strace only shows that /etc/containers/storage.conf is read and not /usr/share/containers/storage.conf, so the file is apparently useless Shouldn't debian do the same thing than fedora so everything works OOTB? As a side note, I can see they are shipping also other files as well, like the seccomp.json file, using strace, it seems that podman tries to read them: [pid 14835] newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/containers/seccomp.json", 0xc0000ee6b8, 0) = -1 ENOENT (Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type) [pid 14835] newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/containers/seccomp.json", 0xc0000ee788, 0) = -1 ENOENT (Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type) Shouldn't that file be shipped by default too?
