I'm not sure I follow. Could you elaborate on the exact steps you took?
Do you mean that you expected to get this error message but didn't, or
that you got that error message even though you shouldn't have?

Are you aware that you need to run "podman system reset" before changing
storage.conf? See podman-system-reset(1).
