Issue

  • Podman error: kernel does not support overlay fs: overlay: the backing xfs filesystem is formatted without d_type support
  • Getting the error while starting the container:
podman[xxx]: Error: could not get runtime: kernel does not support overlay fs: overlay: the backing xfs filesystem is formatted without d_type support, which leads to incorrect behavior. Reformat the filesystem with ftype=1 to enable d_type support. Running without d_type is not supported.: driver not supported
