I started a container and got this error and now every LXD command throws this error, not seen it before, its a new server, I can access apache through the container.

$ lxc start container1
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/libdb.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.


$ lxd version
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/local/lib/libdb.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (failed to map segment from shared object): ignored.

This suggests that your system is using some kind of ld preload (in /etc/ld.so.preload) which is failinig.

I have not done anything different to setting up LXD, and I have setup LXD inside VMs more than 20 times, following the same instructions.

Update the system, install zfs-utils, set the production values. This error only comes up when running the LXD commands, running other commands do not.

The preloading is something I did not set. So I have no clue why this has happened.

EDIT
I have since formatted the server, but I am still curious to if this a hardware problem or what.
