Unable to create container

LXD
1

Hello,

i’m unable to create container showing the below error.

root@cpu-xxxx:/var/lib/lxd/containers# lxc launch images:debian/buster test
Creating test
Error: Failed instance creation: Create instance: Create instance: Invalid devices: Failed detecting root disk device: No root device could be found

I googled and could see that adding profile will fix the issue. But it shows already exists. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Sujai

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for the response.

OK so that shows that the root disk device is using the pool ‘default’, which should be fine.

What version of LXD are you running, and can you show me the output of:

lxc storage show default
