[CI:DOCS] rootless_tutorial: Remove incorrect advice regarding volumes and mount points
* Remove the instruction
"The mount point must exist in the container"
as it is incorrect which is shown by this example
```
$ mkdir dir1
$ podman run --rm -v ./dir1:/dir1:Z docker.io/library/fedora:36 touch /dir1/file
$ ls dir1
file
$ podman run --rm docker.io/library/fedora:36 ls -l /dir1
ls: cannot access '/dir1': No such file or directory
$ podman --version
podman version 4.1.1
$
```
* Rewrite the advice "You should always give the full path to the volume you'd like to mount"
so that it also mentions relative paths starting with a dot.

If the container you're trying to run has a `USER` which is not root, then when mounting volumes you **must** use `--userns=keep-id`. This is because the container user would not be able to become `root` and access the mounted volumes. -Other considerations in regards to volumes: +Another consideration in regards to volumes: -- You should always give the full path to the volume you'd like to mount -- The mount point must exist in the container +- When providing the path of a directory you'd like to bind-mount, the path needs to be provided as an absolute path + or a relative path that starts with `.` (a dot), otherwise the string will be interpreted as the name of a named volume. ## More information |
