Devuan container on LXD won't stop properly

LXD
1

Hi,

I’m running LXD on Ubuntu Bionic and have been using a Devuan container successfully for some months now. One thing I notice is that the lxc stop devuan command does not actually stop the container like it does for all other container types I run.
Instead I have to do lxc exec devuan -- bash and then run a halt command from within the container.
Is this behavior expected or am I missing something? Is systemd required with a container for management functionality to work? I would expect not.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Can you be a bit more explicit on how you are doing your test ?

gerard@q1900:~$ lxc image list images: | grep devuan | grep amd64
