 **podman system migrate** takes care of migrating existing containers to the latest version of podman if any change is necessary.
 
+"Rootless Podman uses a pause process to keep the unprivileged
+namespaces alive. This prevents any change to the `/etc/subuid` and
+`/etc/subgid` files from being propagated to the rootless containers
+while the pause process is running.
+
+For these changes to be propagated, it is necessary to first stop all
+running containers associated with the user and to also stop the pause
+process and delete its pid file.  Instead of doing it manually, `podman
+system migrate` can be used to stop both the running containers and the
+pause process. The `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` files can then be
+edited or changed with usermod to recreate the user namespace with the
+newly configured mappings.
