libpod (4.6.2+ds1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Podman 4.6 changes the default storage driver from vfs to overlay.
The overlay driver has been available for some time, but it had to be
enabled explicitly in the Debian version of podman. The overlay driver
is generally much faster and uses less disk space than the vfs driver.
To take advantage of overlay, it's necessary to delete the local
container storage, destroying any containers you may currently
have. Make sure to save or export any images, containers and volumes
before doing so, or you will lose them!
Some helpful commands:
# save the filesystem of a container
podman export -o important-container.tar important_container
# save a volume
podman volume export -o important-volume.tar important_volume
# save all container images
podman save -o images.tar
# delete ~/.local/share/containers (!!!)
# check that podman is using the overlay driver (!)
podman info | grep graphDriverName
# re-import all container images
podman load -i images.tar
# re-import a saved container filesystem as a container image
podman import important-container.tar
# re-import a volume
podman volume import important_volume important-volume.tar
