Description Matej Cepl 2024-06-23 16:34:37 UTC 
Using distrobox/podman containers on MicroOS and with the last snapshot of Tumbleweed I get this on any podman command I run:

ERRO[0000] User-selected graph driver "overlay" overwritten by graph driver "btrfs" from database - delete libpod local files ("/var/lib/containers/storage") to resolve.  May prevent use of images created by other tools 
Error: configure storage: unknown option overlay.mountopt ("overlay.mountopt=nodev,metacopy=on")

Unfortunately, it also breaks my main working container (`distrobox --root`).

I had to copy /usr/share/containers/storage.conf to /etc/containers/storage.conf and change `storage.driver` to `"btrfs"` to make podman work again as before.

How come `podman` with default configuration breaks?

(used libcontainers-common-20240618-1.1.noarch)

This happened because we moved all distro-specific configs (storage, mounts, seccomp) to the correct path (/usr/share/containers/*). In the process, the older storage.conf in /etc/containers/ was dropped. It was an oversight on my end.

Your existing workloads were using btrfs driver but with the recent update (fix pending merge to Factory[1]), the driver was set to overlay causing the above error. It should be fixed with the next snapshot and/or wouldn't cause this in the first place.
