Snap lxd: how to restart lxd without restarting containers?

So it depends, for the snap you can do systemctl reload snap.lxd.daemon but then again the snap doesn’t actually use /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid so that shouldn’t be needed in the first place.

For the deb, you can normally do systemctl restart lxd which shouldn’t impact running containers.
