Greetings,
I am running oracle using podman volume for data (it is not for production,
of course, development only). So far I did not notice anything noticeably
wrong about it, but today I observed, that adump directory has a lot of files
and decided to clean it up (just rm -rf adump). As of time of writhing the
command runs for about half an hour and did not yet complete. Ten minutes
ago I checked number of remaining files and it was about 350000. The removal
goes at a rate on about 1000 files per minute or so. On hosting system
fuse-overlayfs process takes 99% cpu.
that is really slow, even for fuse-overlayfs. Could you share more
information about your system?
My system is rocky linux (former centos) 8.5. I installed podman from
standard
rocky linux repo, no external repos were used. Podman version is3.2.3, crun 0.20.1
is used fpr container runtime. Underlying fs for container storage is ext4.
I did not do any special setup/configuration at all, apart from creating an lvm
for co=ntainer storage and mounting it under /home/xxxx/.local/share/containers
(podman runs rootless).
Is this behaviour normal?
I suggest to switch to native overlay for rootless, that will help with
the issue you've seen.
You need to fully destroy your storage first "podman system reset -f",
and next time you run Podman it will detect the native overlay support
and use it instead of fuse-overlayfs.

Giuseppe
