Details about issue

When I use nerdctl, such as

nerdctl --snapshotter nydus run --rm -it centos:v1 bash

the container can be successfully created and run normally.
However, when I switch to Kubernetes, it gives me the following error:

Warning  FailedCreatePodSandBox  <invalid>  kubelet  Failed to create pod sandbox: rpc error: code = AlreadyExists desc = failed to get sandbox image "xxx/pause:3.6": failed to pull image "xxx/pause:3.6": failed to pull and unpack image "xxx/pause:3.6": unable to prepare extraction snapshot: target snapshot "sha256:xxx": already exists

I suspect this issue is related to the pause image because nerdctl, which doesn't involve the pause image, can start successfully. I have also tried using

ctr -n k8s.io content fetch $pause-image-name

but it doesn't work.

This is very confusing for me, especially because I was able to successfully launch pods using Kubernetes a while ago. However, after some time has passed, it is no longer able to start.

Cloud you try ctr images delete xxx/pause:3.6 --sync ?

Cloud you try ctr images delete xxx/pause:3.6 --sync ?

Need to ensure the pod using the image has been deleted first.

I have already deleted all the pause images, but I still receive the same error. target snapshot "sha256:xxx": already exists

Is this a work in progress (WIP)? I'm experiencing the same issue in kata 3.2.0. @imeoer
