From 2abfef3809abc59e8d29bcbcf2b5e0aa7141fb6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Valentin Rothberg Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2021 10:33:27 +0100 Subject: podman cp: ignore EPERMs in rootless mode Ignore permission errors when copying from a rootless container. TTY devices inside rootless containers are owned by the host's root user which is "nobody" inside the container's user namespace rendering us unable to even read them. Enable the integration test which was temporarily disabled for rootless users.
