[lxc-users] Copying/cloning a container between nodes if LXC/LXD is not running

[Rahul Rege]

Just my 2 cents : I am not following the LXD alot but if it supports live
migration, I believe it does, then it'd be taking care of similar things
(remapping etc) when it resumes the container on another host. You may try
this on another set of hosts and check how that looks may be.
