Project feature - error when copy a container: Error: no such file or directory

1

Hi,

If I work within a project (not the default) I can not copy a container. Appears an error message: Error: no such file or directory

In the default project copy is running ok.
I’m running snap version 3.6 (9510) on Lubuntu 16.04.5

Any ideas?

Reproduced the issue here, will look into it shortly.

OK. Thanks

Not sure if it's the same for me, but with snap 3.7 (9550) I can't start a container (squid) in a non default project after copying it (from a default project on another host). If I look at the zfs datasets made I see the following:

sjoerd@obelix:~$ lxc project list
+--------------+--------+----------+---------+
|     NAME     | IMAGES | PROFILES | USED BY |
+--------------+--------+----------+---------+
| default      | YES    | YES      | 25      |
+--------------+--------+----------+---------+
| dr (current) | YES    | YES      | 5       |
+--------------+--------+----------+---------+

sjoerd@obelix:~$ lxc copy asterix:squid --container-only
Transferring container: squid: 902.27MB (54.18MB/s)
Container name is: squid

sjoerd@obelix:~$lxc list
+-------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
| NAME  |  STATE  |         IPV4          | IPV6 |    TYPE    | SNAPSHOTS |
+-------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
| dr1   | RUNNING | 192.168.10.137 (eth0) |      | PERSISTENT |           |
+-------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+
| squid | STOPPED |                       |      | PERSISTENT |           |
+-------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+

squid is copied and dr1 is created in the project from scratch.

sjoerd@obelix:~$ lxc start squid
Error: Failed to run: /snap/lxd/current/bin/lxd forkstart dr_squid /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/containers /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/logs/dr_squid/lxc.conf:

sjoerd@obelix:~$ lxc info --show-log squid

ZFs datasets look like:

sjoerd@obelix:~$ zfs list |grep squid
data/obelix/lxd/storage/containers/dr_squid                                                        192K  4.96T   192K  /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default/containers/dr_squid
data/obelix/lxd/storage/containers/squid                                                          1.02G  4.96T  1.02G  none

That doesn't seem right, since the first entry should be the one filled with data (or is it a clone from the bottom line?)

The freshly created container dr1 in the project just gives the upper dataset:
sjoerd@obelix:~$ zfs list |grep dr1
data/obelix/lxd/storage/containers/dr_dr1                                                          336M  4.96T  1.06G  /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default/containers/dr_dr1

NB: copying container squid to the default project on obelix from asterix just works fine. profiles are the same

Hi,

lxc copy is working in lxd snap version 3.7 (9600). Great job!!

Thanks and salutes from Spain
