Limitations Running Podman under Hyper-V
Podman runs under Hyper-V with some limitations.
Note: When running Ingres 12.1 containers using Podman on Hyper‑V, explicit access to the required host drives must be configured to ensure proper bind‑mount behavior.
The main limitation comes from Windows files which are not transparently shared with the Linux VM running in Hyper-V. Limitations include:
• You cannot execute programs or scripts located in the shared drivers
• You cannot append to files
• You cannot run chmod on files.
One way to workaround this limitation is to mount the necessary directories in the host using SMB/CIFS in the Podman VM.
The default drive used by the Podman Hyper-V machine does not provide enough permissions to successfully use user mounts or write to the log files. You might need a different driver or use SAMBA mounts in order to provide the necessary functionality.
