copy errors when copying a symlink that extends out of a volume

[joequant]

Create a contain with a symlink bin/ points outside of a directory and then create a volume from that container. podman will issue an error as it attempts to copy the symlink.

Suppose I have a directory

/usr/bin

that contains a symlink from foo to ../bin/foo

I think attempt to create a volume of /usr/bin

When podman copies the symlink into the blank volume, we get an error.

podman-compose does not copy anything, it just pass arguments to podman

in that case your problem might be with podman not podman compose.

I believe we have an issue in podman right now where we are blocking some links that go outside of the volume. You might find it in one of Podman issues. If you can not find the issue, then open a new one, preferably with a reproducer in Podman.

It's a podman issue
