LXD with ZFS pool
When you already have working ZFS pool (see here) and want to use LXD - it is good idea to use them togeter.
Step 1 - Prepare filesystem
sudo zfs create -o mountpoint=none mypool/lxd-pool
Step 2 - Install LXD
sudo apt install lxd
You might want this:
sudo usermod -aG lxd your-user
Step 3 - Configure LXD
sudo lxc init
Configure ZFS this way:
Do you want to configure a new storage pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? yes
Name of the new storage pool [default=default]:
Name of the storage backend to use (dir, btrfs, ceph, lvm, zfs) [default=zfs]: zfs
Create a new ZFS pool (yes/no) [default=yes]? no
Name of the existing ZFS pool or dataset: mypool/lxd-pool
[...]
Step 4 - Optional
If you use zfs-auto-snapshot, you might want to consider this:
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=false mypool/lxd-pool
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/containers
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/custom
sudo zfs set com.sun:auto-snapshot=true mypool/lxd-pool/virtual-machines
