Regrettably, I'd never even heard of F2FS. I'm 99% sure that's not a file
system we are testing. Just to be transparent, we only support XFS on RHEL,
so that's probably the best tested solution. I have also used it on EXT4
without a problem. Mileage may vary when you get outside XFS and EXT4.
Others might have a better understanding of F2FS and why it might
cause this doubling problem.

Hi,
I run podman as root, but it seems that the build and commit commands
always create images that double the size on every change.
I run podman on ArchLinux with F2FS disk. Is F2FS not supported? I could
not find anything on the web that mentions this.
