Infinite `Overlay mount failed with invalid argument` on Ubuntu 20.04 with sandbox container plus overlay
DrDaveD opened this issue · comments
Version of Apptainer
apptainer version 1.2.5
Expected behavior
Expect to be able to use a sandbox container with a overlay ext3 image in unprivileged mode
Actual behavior
As first reported in this #2050 comment, the apptainer command hangs, and the debug option shows an infinite series of messages like
VERBOSE [U=0,P=16410] mountGeneric() Overlay mount failed with invalid argument, mounting without xino option
Steps to reproduce this behavior
Run these commands with an unprivileged install of apptainer-1.2.5 on Ubuntu 20.04:
apptainer build --sandbox ubuntu-20.04 docker://ubuntu:20.04
apptainer overlay create --sparse --fakeroot --size 1024 overlay.img
apptainer -d exec -f --overlay overlay.img ubuntu-20.04 id
What OS/distro are you running
Ubuntu 20.04
How did you install Apptainer
From the Ubuntu PPA.
I created this issue just for documentation. The problem doesn't happen with version 1.3.0-rc.2.
