Migrating to rootless podman: historic fuse-overlayfs trap

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi all,

those who had an outdated podman setup around as they were primarily
using docker for Isar builds so far (like /me) may run into this trap as
well:

If podman was first used before that time, it might still be configured
to use fuse-overlayfs. And that combined with an Isar build is slooooow.
Really.

Save your podman containers (if they are valuable) and run "podman
system reset" to wipe everything. Then you will start with native
overlayfs afterwards, and Isar builds are also decently fast.
