Dear
I have just tested with the same Lxd version (5.16):
If we take an export container X with 1 snapshot with the command below the import does not work on on a new storage pool
/snap/bin/lxc export containerX --optimized-storage --instance-only
However it works when:
-
Removing the snapshot before the export
-
Removing “-instance-only” from the export command
So the export command with option “–instance-only” can not be used on new storage pools. Maybe good to update documenation on this
