No error from podman init but the container remains in created state

[dipanwitasarkar]

I am running podman init for multiple containers(> 5) simultaneously but one of them randomly fails to initialize and remains in created state. Has anyone faced this issue? If yes, how to solve this? I am using github.com/containers/podman/v5.

The issue is happening frequently only when multiple containers are initialized simultaneously. Does podman not support parallel executions?

please provide more information. It is not even clear how you are starting them, do you get any error?

What happens if you try running again podman init on some of the created containers? Do you get any error?

I have a script which spins multiple threads with each one creating containers and initializing them. There is no error in init. Just the container remains in Created status.

On retrying init on the created ones after some delay, the status changes to initialized.
