https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/02/16/zfs-is-the-fs-for-containers-in-ubuntu-16-04/ ext4 should work, but you'd be missing compression (activated in the fs, not lxd-specific), quick container creation (with snapshot/clone, managed my lxd directly), and container disk quota support. Those are things that comes to mind immediately, there might be others. > > Live container migration is the killer feature for me, but as far as I can > tell it's not yet possible with any stock distro.
