Yes, of course.

You could have read the sentence directly under it:

You know the thing I wonder about is, why can LXD create new storage pools with all backends on the harddrive that LXD is installed on, but it seems it can only create a “dir” backend storage pool on additional harddrives.

Because I for example have a btrfs and a zfs storage pool on my ext4 harddrive, created by LXD.

I did. I didn’t answer because I didn’t have anything new to add to what I have already written.

Your btrfs and zfs storage pools on your ext4 partition are obviously simulated filesystems. If you like them, enjoy. I also used them for learning how zfs works. I now prefer using a zfs filesystem on a raw partition, as I said before.

Interesting .
Didn’t know there is a difference.

Anyway this seems to be one more reason LXD should be able to create a simulated filesystem on a second harddrive or partition.
Maybe someone can check that, so we finally would have an answer.
