root-less containers look for root-full paths?
by lejeczek
Hi gays.
I've recently updated rpm packages on my c10 and there were,
amongst many more, these:
crun-1.28-1.el10.x86_64 Wed 01 Jul
2026 08:24:45 CEST
containers-common-6.0-2.el10.noarch Wed 08 Jul
2026 09:58:33 CEST
containers-common-extra-6.0-2.el10.noarch Wed 08 Jul
2026 09:58:33 CEST
systemd-container-257-28.el10.x86_64 Wed 08 Jul
2026 09:58:35 CEST
podman-6.0.0-1.el10.x86_64
I mention it for I cannot think of any other reason why on
all my systems, (suddenly) rootless users (via IPA backend)
now when I do:
-> $ ssh appownia@localhost
Last login: Thu Jul 9 19:07:24 2026 from ::1
WARN[0000] RunRoot is pointing to a path
(/run/containers/storage) which is not writable. Most likely
podman will fail.: permission denied
Error: cannot evaluate symlinks on DB run root path
"/run/containers/storage": lstat /run/containers/storage:
permission denied
Nothing of _podman_ toolbox cmd seems to work, eg.:
-> $ podman system reset -f
fails
Anybody sees this/similar issue, even if not on Centos?
many thanks, L.

Podman v6.0.1 Released
by container.tools.ci＠gmail.com
Hi all,
Podman v6.0.1 is now available. You may view the full details at
https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/releases/tag/v6.0.1
Release Notes:
--------------
### Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where Podman Machine VMs on Mac using the `libkrun` provider could be regularly turned off by a port-scanning process on the host unintentionally commanding the VM to shut down.
- Fixed a bug where the `podman machine init` command would fail on Windows hosts when using the `hyperv` provider when WSL was not installed ([#29053](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29053)).
- Fixed a bug where the `podman machine init` command would fail on Windows hosts when using the `wsl` provider when the user was a Hyper-V admin but Hyper-V is disabled ([#29138](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29138)).
- Fixed a bug where error messages from the OCI runtime were sometimes not displayed when `--log-level=debug` was passed to Podman.
- Fixed a bug where the `podman machine os upgrade` command did not function properly ([#29085](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29085)).
- Fixed a bug where the default image used by `podman machine` was not being properly cached ([#29090](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29090)).
- Fixed a bug where rootful Podman Machine VMs on Windows using the `wsl` provider would fail to start ([#29003](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29003)).
- Fixed a bug where commands that did not support the `--replace` option would incorrectly suggest using that option in error messages ([#24537](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/24537)).
- Fixed a bug where the Pesto rootless port forwarding tool (enabled by `rootless_port_forwarder=pasta`) did not properly clean up rules on container restart and network reload, causing failures to forward traffic ([#29032](https://github.com/podman-container-tools/podman/issues/29032)).
