Description

Hit the shiftfs problem on kernel 5.15.48
Lost significant time trying & failing to solve it
If it's a known problem, it should be referenced in the install guide https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox/blob/master/docs/user-guide/install-package.md.
Going to try again but it would help lots of people if it was referenced with workaround in #608
