I have no idea why debian would be choosing VFS, unless this is an
older version of debian and did not support rootless overaly. You
could try installling fuse-overlayfs and doing another reset, then
Podman info should show you using overlay with fuse-overlayfs.
Dan,
In Debian, I've chosen to just go with the upstream defaults:
https://github.com/containers/storage/blob/8428fad6d0d3c4cded8fd7702af36a...
This file is installed verbatim to /usr/share/containers/storage.conf.
Is there a better choice? Does Fedora/Redhat provide a default
storage.conf from somewhere else?
Thanks,

That should be fine. Fedora goes with that default as well. Does debian
support rootless overlay by default?
If not then it would fail over to VFS if fuse-overlayfs is not installed.
