What are your problems again, and how did you get there? A reproducer or step by step would be helpful. My GUESS is that you somehow tell lxd to use your CURRENT root partition (e.g /dev/sda1) as a NEW zfs pool. Is that what happened? lxd can either create a new zfs pool (destroying whatever is currently on the block device), or an existing zfs dataset (which can be part of any pool, including root pool). You dont need to use zfs root to use zfs backing store for lxd, as long as you either have a free block device (loopback also works for testing purposes), or an existing zfs dataset. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
