Man pages: refactor common options: --volumes-from
Removed a spurious right-bracket; went with upper-case for options;
removed 'you's; added some <<container|pod>>s.
Hard to review because none of the existing man pages had it
quite right.

Used to share volumes between +containers<<| and pods>>. The *options* is a comma-separated list with the following available elements: + +* **rw**|**ro** +* **z** + +Mounts already mounted volumes from a source container onto another +<<container|pod>>. _CONTAINER_ may be a name or ID. +To share a volume, use the --volumes-from option when running +the target container. Volumes can be shared even if the source container +is not running. + +By default, Podman mounts the volumes in the same mode (read-write or +read-only) as it is mounted in the source container. +This can be changed by adding a `ro` or `rw` _option_. + +Labeling systems like SELinux require that proper labels are placed on volume +content mounted into a <<container|pod>>. Without a label, the security system might +prevent the processes running inside the container from using the content. By +default, Podman does not change the labels set by the OS. + +To change a label in the <<container|pod>> context, add `z` to the volume mount. +This suffix tells Podman to relabel file objects on the shared volumes. The `z` +option tells Podman that two entities share the volume content. As a result, +Podman labels the content with a shared content label. Shared volume labels allow +all containers to read/write content. + +If the location of the volume from the source container overlaps with +data residing on a target <<container|pod>>, then the volume hides +that data on the target. |
