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 context, you can add either of two suffixes -`:z` or `:Z` to the volume mount. These suffixes tell Podman to relabel file -objects on the shared volumes. The `z` option tells Podman that two containers -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. -The `Z` option tells Podman to label the content with a private unshared label. -Only the current container can use a private volume. - -Note: Do not relabel system files and directories. Relabeling system content -might cause other confined services on your machine to fail. For these types -of containers we recommend disabling SELinux separation.

The container processes -can modify content within the mountpoint which is stored in the -container storage in a separate directory. In overlay terms, the source -directory will be the lower, and the container storage directory will be the -upper. Modifications to the mount point are destroyed when the container -finishes executing, similar to a tmpfs mount point being unmounted. - - Subsequent executions of the container will see the original source directory -content, any changes from previous container executions no longer exist. - - One use case of the overlay mount is sharing the package cache from the -host into the container to allow speeding up builds. - - Note: - - - The `O` flag conflicts with other options listed above. -Content mounted into the container is labeled with the private label. - On SELinux systems, labels in the source directory must be readable -by the container label. Usually containers can read/execute `container_share_t` -and can read/write `container_file_t`. If you cannot change the labels on a -source volume, SELinux container separation must be disabled for the container -to work. - - The source directory mounted into the container with an overlay mount -should not be modified, it can cause unexpected failures. It is recommended -that you do not modify the directory until the container finishes running. - - `Mounts propagation` - -By default bind mounted volumes are `private`. That means any mounts done -inside container will not be visible on host and vice versa. One can change -this behavior by specifying a volume mount propagation property. Making a -volume `shared` mounts done under that volume inside container will be -visible on host and vice versa. Making a volume `slave` enables only one -way mount propagation and that is mounts done on host under that volume -will be visible inside container but not the other way around. <sup>[[1]](#Footnote1)</sup> - -To control mount propagation property of a volume one can use the [**r**]**shared**, -[**r**]**slave**, [**r**]**private** or the [**r**]**unbindable** propagation flag. -For mount propagation to work the source mount point (the mount point where source dir -is mounted on) has to have the right propagation properties.
