Currently I'm using the default podman that comes with CentOS7 1.6.4 which I fear is the issue. /bin/podman: stderr WARNING: The same type, major and minor should not be used for multiple devices. Looks to be part of the issue, and I've heard this is an issue in older versions of podman. I can't see a ram issue, or a CPU issue it looks like its probably an issue with podman mounting overlays, so maybe upgrading podman past that available with CentOS 7 is the first plan, shame CentOS 8 is a non-project now :( Peter.
