[lxc-users] Ownership changes after container move

[Jamie Brown]

Apologies, I forget this is LXD and LXC mailing list!

I am using LXD;

# lxc stop test
# lxc move local:test remote:test

Thanks,

Jamie

LXC/LXD? How did you move the containers? Did you use rsync without --numeric-ids maybe?

Hi,

what prodecure did you use to move the container?

I usually use tar: cd /var/lib/lxc/ ; tar --numeric-owner -zcpf containter.tar container/, then, tar -zxpf container.tar in the target host.

Hi,

I’ve discovered that some file ownership changes have occurred after moving stopped containers between hosts.

Prior to the move there were various user directories (e.g. “/home/jamie”) with ownership set to jamie:jamie. After moving, the ownership was changed to ubuntu:ubuntu.

I discovered the issue when attempting to SSH to the moved host and was prompted to enter my password as I no longer owned my authorized_keys file.

I will try to repeat this, but I can confirm it has happened on multiple containers.
