Copy containers(LVM backend) with root storage quota

LXD
1

Hi,

I have a snap lxd 3.17 version installation with a lvm/ext4 backend(one drive).
Copying containers is no issue, but when i want to copy a container(lxc copy test test2) with a set root storage quota(lxc config device set test root size 20GB) I get the error message:
Error: could not extend LV “/dev/default/containers_test2”:

Is this a limitation of LVM?

3.18 to be available on Monday will at least give you a better error message.
Without a more detailed error, I’d say to check just how much disk space you have on the target, could it be that LVM just can’t allocate those 20GB somehow?

It’s a 500GB drive with only a few containers(architecture is arm):
