Add additional storage pool to profile

Apologies for replying to a 2-year old post, but I had the same question and I saw 3 posts with same/similar questions.

LXD VM storage customization

Hello, I want to boot a couple of VMs to use as a cluster and I am having issues with the storage. I want my VMs to have custom disk size (ex. 100GB) on a specific path. I finally found out my image needs to have cloud-init for the storage to be customizable. So I create my VMs with the following command: lxc launch images:ubuntu/22.04/cloud test --vm The end result is the following: $ lxc exec test – df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 2.8G 796K 2.…

Custom block volumes defined in profiles?

Currently I am manually creating and attaching storage volumes. I am using them to experiment with ceph block io. How can I do the equivalent to this bash script but in a profile? Can I set the volume to auto delete when the instance deletes via the profile as well? #!/bin/bash VMS="v1 v2 v3" DISKS="data1 data2 data3" readonly DATA_DISK="100GiB" for VM in $VMS do for DISK in $DISKS do lxc storage volume create default "${VM}-${DISK}" --type block size=${DATA_DISK} …

How to autoprovision additional disks using profiles or Ansible in a cluster? (I believe this post has the answer)

I think what yokem55 wanted to say was: “Is there a way to tell LXD to create a new storage volume and attach it to newly created instance and mount it on some location inside the instance, all of this done automatically when we launch new instance (maybe through command line parameters or through profile config?”

And as per the last post shared above, currently there is no way to make the creation of new storage volumes automated through the profiles or any other way. The storage volume should be created first and then attached to the instance.
