playing with "podman cp" and, given a running centos container, from the host: $ podman cp b0d7:etc/os-release /tmp Error: cannot copy into running rootless container with pause set - pass --pause=false to force copying $ i'm puzzled as i am clearly trying to copy *out* of that running container. am i misunderstanding something basic? rday p.s. i can view that file via "podman exec": $ podman exec b0d7 cat /etc/os-release NAME="CentOS Linux" VERSION="8 (Core)" ID="centos" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="8" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el8" PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:8" HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-8" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="8" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="8" -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
