### **NOTE:** Unsupported file systems in rootless mode
-The Overlay file system (OverlayFS) is not supported in rootless mode. The fuse-overlayfs package is a tool that provides the functionality of OverlayFS in user namespace that allows mounting file systems in rootless environments. It is recommended to install the fuse-overlayfs package and to enable it by adding `mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"` under `[storage.options]` in the `$HOME/.config/containers/storage.conf` file.
+The Overlay file system (OverlayFS) is not supported in rootless mode. The fuse-overlayfs package is a tool that provides the functionality of OverlayFS in user namespace that allows mounting file systems in rootless environments. It is recommended to install the fuse-overlayfs package. In rootless mode Podman will automatically use the fuse-overlafs program as the mount_program if installed, as long as the $HOME/.config/containers/storage.conf file was not previously created. If storage.conf exists in the homedir, add `mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"` under `[storage.options.overlay]` to enable this feature.
The Network File System (NFS) and other distributed file systems (for example: Lustre, Spectrum Scale, the General Parallel File System (GPFS)) are not supported when running in rootless mode as these file systems do not understand user namespace. However, rootless Podman can make use of an NFS Homedir by modifying the `$HOME/.config/containers/storage.conf` to have the `graphroot` option point to a directory stored on local (Non NFS) storage.
