I am experiencing difficulties with Podman builds on an NFS-mounted directory. The error message indicates a problem with the lsetxattr operation, which suggests that the NFS filesystem does not support extended attributes required by Podman. I’ve been running this same application in an NSF area on a SL7 server and docker for the last 6 months and never faced this issue before, but it keeps appearing now that we shifted to podman on AL9.
Sample of the error I get when running a simple podman script
I was able to run my dockerized app using podman only when: 1) Moved the app folder to /scratch area that is mounted on XFS, 2) switch to root using the ksu command, and 3) run “podman-compose up –build” using sudo in front.
However, I need to run this on the original NFS area.
