Error: Storage pool "lxdpool" unavailable on this server after update to LXD 5.6

Hello,

it seems changing mountpoint of lxdpool to “legacy” fixes the issue:

I wrote in starting post:

hupe:

sudo zfs list
NAME                                                                                              USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
lxdpool                                                                                          3,80T  3,33T     95,5G  /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/lxdpool

In difference, working subpool has mountpoint

hupe:

NAME                                                                                              USED  AVAIL     REFER  MOUNTPOINT
lxdpool/subpool                                                                                  4,18G  3,33T       96K  legacy

So I changed mountpoint to legacy and my containers starts some moment later.

It was required to use the following commands to set lxdpool to legacy mountpoint:

sudo zfs unmount lxdpool
sudo zfs set mountpoint=legacy lxdpool

I’m not sure if this issue is somehow related to LXD 5.6 update, but I would expect not. On the other hand I do not know if or why this mountpoint was changed. Maybe a developer or more experienced user can explain.
