Thanks Fajar.

Interesting, I have not seen/used “lxd init” yet.  The output of “lxc -h” does 
not show the init command.  Guess it must be a super-admin command since it is 
hidden :-)

Greetings all,

I am trying to copy sites from one LXD to another - both running BTRFS.  The 
normal “lxc copy” command uses btrfs send/receive which is terribly slow.  
Since rsync works much, much faster, is there a quick way to create the 
container “shell” on the remote server (and register it with LXD) and then 
manually rsync the data over?


probably 'lxc init', choosing the smallest available container (e.g. 
images:alpine/3.5). 
 
As an aside; I think LXD should allow the user to specify which copy tool to 
leverage when doing the copying.  Is that possible?


The intention was probably 'to use storage-specific method, which should be 
much faster' (which is true with zfs).
