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,
