[lxc-users] lxc-snapshot and stopping an lxc container

[Andy Johnson]

Hello,
I an newbie to lxc snapshoting.

I use latest git lxc, built with --disable-python.
I created the container with btrfs backing store.

I tried creating a snapshot with lxc-scnapshot, and got
...
lxc_container: error: Original container (fedoraBtrfs) is running
lxc_container: clone of /container:fedoraBtrfs failed
...

My question is: should I stop the container with lxc-stop before
running lxc-snapshot ?



regards,
Andy
