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.

Your system strorage.conf most likely has an entry for runroot, you'll need to comment
it out.

Seems there was/is a functional "change" to how binaries
(new ones) behave.
Creation of - on centos10 the path did not exist -
/etc/containers/storage.rootful.conf.d/ & moving
_/etc/containers/storage.conf_ there - solves the issue.
loosen up - would be my advice - when somebody calls you gay
think of old english gayman or gay in general - fine classic
"Great Expectations" 1946 is when I first came across it -
that is what I think of, when somebody calls me a gay
pozdrowienia, L
