LXD Storage Pools

In LXD, by default you are provided a storage pool named “default”. The default storage pool is where all LXD containers store their data. When you do a “lxd init” to configure a LXD server, I have mentioned in the past that having a default storage pool formatted as a zfs pool provides a lot of efficiency as well as data protection.

This video identifies a problem and a solution that I had created for a LXD application with a nested Docker container that had created a Docker volume which uses the overlay2 file system.

Normally, docker containers can be nested inside of LXD in a zfs storage pool just fine. The gotcha was that the Discourse docker container had internally created an overlay2 volume and that is unsupported on a zfs file system.
