Hi,

lxd doesn't actually use that file.  The container configuration
is stored in a database (for fast querying of large # containers).

What you want currently isn't implemented, but it is in the spec
to be implemented "soon".  If it's of interest to you, patches are
welcome :)

See the 'Startup' section in the file specs/daemon-behavior.md
(https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/specs/daemon-behavior.md)
for more details.
