[rhatdan]

This is working fine in the main branch.
@flouthoc Did you (or Perhaps me) fix this recently?

[flouthoc]

@rhatdan You fixed it here #10550 and there was another follow up PR for symlinks which i remember. @k-wall Please try it with latest version. Also there a version diff between your podman client and podman server.

[mheon]

I'm going to go ahead and close, since this is fixed upstream.

[ConorSheehan1]

Any news on when this will be release?
Still seeing the same issue in latest release v3.4.4

[mheon]

The fix for this has been in since 3.3.0, so this may be a new bug - can you open a fresh issue?

[ConorSheehan1]

@mheon was a slightly different issue, my bad. logged here #12841
