Hallo again,
I just purged the whole storage using podman system reset.
I verified that ~/.local/share/containers became empty
(only bolt database was still remaining using about 200Mb space)
I have run 2 containers from docker.io: ibmcom/db2 and ibmcom/db2console.
podman system df reports space usage by images 4Gb and by containers 6Mb.
podman images command shows consistent values (two images, 2.83Gb + 1.21Gb)
system df command shows that 32Gb is used on ~/.local/share/containers filesystem
du shows that all this space is located under ~/.local/share/containers/storage/vfs/dir
This directory contains 32 subdirs, 11 subdirs of 1.1Gb each, 6 subdirs of 2.6Gb each,
rest subdirs take anywhere from 94Mb to 646Mb
When I try to diff -rw for directories of same size, I see only reports for missing
symlink files, but never real file differences.
No real activity was performed with podman apart from running these two containers.
I am running podman 4.3.1 on debian bookworm (kernel 6.0.8)
What is wrong?
Best regards,

Hallo,
I notice some disk space discrepancy when running rootless podman containers.
I use dedicated fs for podman storage mountrd to ~/.local/share/containers.
df and du show consistent used disk space:
island:named [master]> df -h ~/.local/share/containers
/dev/mapper/sys-containers 117G 84G 32G 73%
~/.local/share/containers
island:named [master]> sudo du -sh ~/.local/share/containers/storage/{vfs,volumes}
74G /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/vfs
11G /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes
island:named [master]>
But space usage shown by podman system df is about 44% less than reported above:
island:named [master]> podman system df
TYPE TOTAL ACTIVE SIZE RECLAIMABLE
Images 32 5 39.49GB 25.96GB (66%)
Containers 7 7 1.85GB 0B (0%)
Local Volumes 2 2 10.83GB 0B (0%)
Volume space is practically same, it's vfs space (where as I understand images
and containers are located) that differs.
I also run buildah as same user, but buildah ls shows nothing.
I have ran podman system prune, but it reclaimed 0 bytes.
So is this extra space usage expected? Or is it sthing wrong with my storage?
Thanks and regards,
