[lxc-users] lxc / lxd I'm lost somewhere

[Benoit GEORGELIN - Association Web4all]

It's a bit confusing. Thanks for the explanation . 

I thought I was using LXD but since the beginning I am just using LXC . 

Do you know what will be the command to create a new container using LXD witch will be the same as doing this : 

lxc-create -n test -t ubuntu -B lvm --lvname test --vgname vg_node1 --fstype ext4 --fssize 1GB 
This is how I use to deploy new containers.. so obviously, it's not LXD aware. 

Thanks 

Cordialement, 
Benoit

They are a completely distinct set of containers. For one, the lxc-ls 
ones are in /var/lib/lxc while lxc list ones are in /var/lib/lxd/containers. 
For another, the configuration for lxd containers is in the lxd database, 
not in configuration files, while the lxc ones are in /var/lib/lxc/$container/config.
