Error: Common start logic: Failed to start device ‘eth0’: Invalid value for device option hwaddr: Invalid value, must 6 bytes of lower case hex separated by colons
OS Ubuntu: 18.04 LTS HWE LiveKernel Patching
lxd --version

It started with: Error: Get http://unix.socket/1.0: EOF but the error suddenly disappeared.

I have 1 node without online containers to troubleshoot (reboot etc.). I don’t want to stop the other running containers.
