I am working on running EasyOS as user "zeus", where zeus has administrator rights. That means you don't have to prepend "sudo" to do stuff, such as mount a partition.
No problem with 'mount' in busybox, mounting and unmounting work when running as user zeus. Busybox in Easy is currently version 1.32.0.

Create and Manage Container Volumes with Podman | TechRepublic
For anyone who’s made the switch from a Ubuntu-based to an RHEL-based Linux distribution for container deployments, you’ve probably realized that Docker isn’t the easiest or best option for your new platform.

But why would you want to learn an entirely new tool? Fortunately, Podman is almost a direct 1:1 replacement for Docker, so if you know one you can use the other. I’ve already helped you take your first steps with Podman and this time around we’re going to extend that a bit by creating and managing volumes.
