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.
The only way to workaround this severe limitation is to not to mount the C drive using the Podman provided driver and create a SMB/CIFS mount inside the Hyper-V virtual machine, a much more involved setup.
