Hi Ed, Not sure how well that will work unless your unprivileged containers have the same UID/GID between your LXD servers. Looking forward to your test results :-)

So following your pointer I have NFS mounted in the host, and then bind-mounted that to the container. I’ve yet to see how that migrates, but one bridge at a time! Thanks again.

What about using a bind-mount? Mount your iscsi volume to the LXD server and bind-mount it into the container.

My instinct is to create an iSCSI target on my Synology server and connect from the container to get a new disk that I can use for the storage. I understand that the guest has to be privileged to do any sort of connection to storage, however it seems that the iSCSI node in the container doesn’t work. What are my options? Do I need to use a SMB connection to the Synology server? Or is NFS better? Is there a way to connect using iSCSI? If it makes any difference, I have two identical servers that I am running LXD on, and want to be able to move the containers between them for maintenance etc. Ideally live, but not essential. And that doesn’t seem to work anyway with lxd 2.0, so kind of a moot point! Any help, suggestions or advice would be very welcome.
