I installed lxd with the storage pool as dedicated partition btrfs.
All my containers are in there
but the images are in /var/snap …
Now I want to reinstall OS and then reinstall LXD using previous storage pool without having to empty that partition (still keep the containers and images). HOW TO?
Make a tarball of /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd and restore it on the reinstalled system.
You need that to keep the LXD database anyway.
Thanks for reply,
But after restored on the reinstalled system, I still can’t see the containers and images with “lxc ls”. I also cannot create the default storage pool with dedicated partition /mnt/btrfs
Can you show output of lxc storage ls and output of sudo ls -la /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools
Thanks for your reply. I have solved the problem already. The reason is I haven’t stopped the lxd service before restoring
