Description
Writing to the host filesystem fails unless the container is run with root privileges.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Set up rootless Docker environment (dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install)
2. Start a development container (docker run ...)
3. Attempt to write files from the container to the host filesystem (echo "test" > /host/path/file.txt)
**Expected Behavior:**
Files should be written successfully to the host filesystem without needing to run the container as root.
