Description

I was trying to follow this post (https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-inside-kubernetes), and hope to see if I can get Podman working without privileged mode in a K8s pod running Sysbox system container.
I understand there are already existing issues regarding Podman integration into Sysbox so I am here to provide more info:

At first I was getting error about /dev/fuse not found and I am aware of the limitation in Sysbox related to this.
I knew I need to have it mounted from host , so I was able to workaround by using the io.kubernetes.cri-o.Devices annotation instead of using the kubelet device plugin as mentioned from the post, and made /dev/fuse with permission 0666. However, I then got the following error when trying to start a container via Podman:

sh-5.2# podman  run --rm hello-world
WARN[0000] Found incomplete layer "942afa80c440df8217d86da76f739724ec331bac84d0df62efe8413525775e6c", deleting it
Error: crun: make `/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/edd2911b92f517336aa38932e54809852d2f9c6ab718c7df7a3bfb9bdf587b39/merged` private: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found

But, if I create the pod/container with default runc runtime in CRI-O instead, I was able to get pass that error. Of course, the --privileged flag will not work in this case.
