      Our 4.11.2 Openshift on Openstack CI jobs failed due to this issue. It is affecting different installation types (IPI, UPI, IPI proxy...) and NetworkTypes (OpenShiftSDN, OVNKubernetes, Kuryr). The failure we are observing is bootstrap control plane failure in some cases. In other cases, not all the workers are deployed. The chances to get a successful installation is pretty low (2 successful installations from 15 attempts).

      Furthermore, there is no clear workaround to fix this issue.

    Description

      Description of problem:

       

      During ocp multinode spoke cluster creation agent provisioning is stuck on "configuring" because machineConfig service is crashing on the node.
      After restarting the service still fails with 

      Can't read link "/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/l/V2OP2CCVMKSOHK2XICC546DUCG" because it does not exist. A storage corruption might have occurred, attempting to recreate the missing symlinks. It might be best wipe the storage to avoid further errors due to storage corruption.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      Podman 4.0.2 +

      How reproducible:
