Podman : Use External Storage2020/05/11

	When Container is removed, data in it are also lost, so it's necessary to use external storage on Container if you need.
[1]	It's possible to mount a directory on Container Host into Containers as a external storage.

# create a directory

[root@dlp ~]#

mkdir -p /var/lib/containers/disk01

# run container with mounting the directory on /mnt

# if SELinux is [Enforcing], needs [--privileged] option like follows

[root@dlp ~]#

podman run --privileged -it -v /var/lib/containers/disk01:/mnt fedora /bin/bash

[root@39ae951f8faa /]#

df -hT
