[lxc-users] Trying out migration, getting "error: checkpoint failed"

[Giles Thomas]

Hi there,

I've been taking a look at LXD and the migration feature sounds really 
cool, but unfortunately I can't get it to work.  I'm following Tycho 
Andersen's blog post at 
<http://tycho.ws/blog/2015/04/lxd-live-migration.html>, and when I run

     lxc move lxd:migratee lxd2:migratee

I get the error

     error: checkpoint failed

OS is Ubuntu Trusty 64-bit, running on Amazon EC2:

     # uname -a
     Linux ip-10-139-6-38 3.13.0-45-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 13 
19:36:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
     # lsb_release -a
     No LSB modules are available.
     Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
     Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
     Release:    14.04
     Codename:    trusty

There's no migration log in /var/log/lxd/migratee/, just an empty 
lxc.log.  Nothing being written to syslog.

Any advice on tracking down what going wrong would be much appreciated!


All the best,

Giles
