18       This command must be run before changing any of the following fields in

23       podman system reset reads the current configuration and attempts to re‐
24       move  all of the relevant configurations. If the administrator modified
25       the configuration files first, podman system reset might not be able to
26       clean up the previous storage.

52   Switching rootless user from VFS driver to overlay with fuse-overlayfs
53       If  the  user ran rootless containers without having the fuse-overlayfs
54       program installed, podman defaults to the vfs storage in their home di‐
55       rectory.  If they want to switch to use fuse-overlay, they must install
56       the fuse-overlayfs package. The user needs to reset the storage to  use
57       overlayfs by default.  Execute podman system reset as the user first to
58       remove the VFS storage. Now the user can edit the /etc/containers/stor‐
59       age.conf  to make any changes if necessary. If the system's default was
60       already overlay, then no changes are necessary to switch to  fuse-over‐
61       layfs.  Podman looks for the existence of fuse-overlayfs to use it when
62       set in the overlay driver, only falling back to vfs if the program does
63       not  exist.  Users  can run podman info to ensure Podman is using fuse-
64       overlayfs and the overlay driver.
