Greetings.
I am migrating to a new, bigger SSD and am curious as to the best way to migrate my LXD to the new hard drive. I know the easiest choice is to do clone the old HD but I do not want to migrate all the data on the old HD to the new HD so I would like to do it piece meal.
My lxd instance has 10 containers running, 9 of which belong to the default profile which utilizes the lxdbr0 and a local zfs pool (local meaning its on the old HD). One container utilizes a much larger zfs pool that resides on an old, slow external drive.
So I would like to install a new OS (still ubuntu based) on the new SSD and then migrate the LXD over. What is the best way to do this?
Additionally, is there a way to keep LXD separate in case I need to do this again? For instance, on a separate partition like is often suggested for /home folders?
Thank you!
