This is a note for my future self. When encountering the following error in podman
:
ERRO[0000] User-selected graph driver "btrfs" overwritten by graph driver "overlay" from database - delete libpod local files to resolve
Do as suggested to delete the libpod local files by doing
rm -rf .local/share/containers/libpod
This resolved the issue for me on my openSUSE Tumbleweed system.
Additional information
The default settings are stored if /etc/containers/storage.conf
. Don’t screw around there as it might be suggested in e.g. podman#5114. That will not solve the issue for you but will only make it worse:
ERRO[0000] The storage 'driver' option must be set in /etc/containers/storage.conf, guarantee proper operation.
Instead really stick to the suggestion of podman and just delete the libpod local files as suggested.
