Can you check through /dev for the device with: - type: block - major: 10 - minor: 55 Seems like LXD thinks that's what's backing your ZFS and the kernel doesn't think it's a real block device so can't apply I/O quotas on it. In general, the LXD code does figure out what the backing devices are for your zpool and lets you set blkio limits on it. Whether zfs respects them is a whole different problem though :) -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
