"Error: cannot mount using driver overlay in rootless mode"
moving on to adding a demo of "podman mount" to my course and, whoops: $ podman mount -a Error: cannot mount using driver overlay in rootless mode $ quick google brings me here: https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2739 but while i peruse that to try to understand it, it's worth noting that "man podman-mount" gives no warning about this possible outcome. should it? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

Probably. Though, I believe we've added a workaround for this - you can enter the rootless user namespace with `podman unshare` and in it you should be able to mount the container. Thanks, Matt Heon

i'd sort of teased that out following a couple links, but that should still be in the man page, even if briefly with a warning and reference to "podman unshare". rday
