Error performing create: Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage storagectl default --name SATA --add sata --hostiocache on failed:

VBoxManage: error: Storage controller named 'SATA' already exists

There is another docker-machine created before.

Probably related to the conflict of having two VMs with the same name

I think it would be fine to check VMs names before do creation.

like this:

$ pm create default
Podman machine or VM named "default" already exists
