Giuseppe any ideas?I repeated everything again: podman system reset, then deleted everything in ~/.local/share/containers to be on the safe side and ran buildah to create an image. No overlay directories appeared under ~/.local/share/containers, only vfs* instead. When I run same buildah command as root, overlay* directories do appear under /var/lib/containers and no vfs ones. My debian is the latest one (sid) and it has the following fuse-related packages: ii fuse-overlayfs 1.9-1 amd64 implementation of overlay+shiftfs in FUSE for rootless containers ii fuse3 3.12.0-1 amd64 Filesystem in Userspace (3.x version) ii libfuse2:amd64 2.9.9-6 amd64 Filesystem in Userspace (library) ii libfuse3-3:amd64 3.12.0-1 amd64 Filesystem in Userspace (library) (3.x version) podman is 4.3.1 For both root and rootless configs podman system info reports runc runtime (runc_1.1.4+ds1-1+b1_amd64 package).

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.> You could do a podman system reset and then remove all content > from the storage with > rm -rf ~/.local/share/containers > To make sure there is nothing hidden there,But that's almost exactly what I did:> 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'm using whatever storage was provided by default podman install (debian sid/bookworm) podman is 4.3.1 How can I reconfigure it to different type? I assumed this has to be done in storage.conf but this file is not present anywhere at all.

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/dirThis directory contains 32 subdirs, 11 subdirs of 1.1Gb each, 6 subdirs of 2.6Gb each, rest subdirs take anywhere from 94Mb to 646MbWhen 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?I guess the first question I would have for you is why are you using VFS storage? And not overlay or fuse-overlay?
Could there be other containers or storage that is un-accounted for? Did you do any podman builds? Or Buildah?
```
$ podman ps --all

```You could do a podman system reset and then remove all content from the storage with
rm -rf ~/.local/share/containers
To make sure there is nothing hidden there,
Other then that I am not sure what could be showing the difference in storage.

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,--Michael Ivanov
