Sorry about the bad upgrade experience... That new storage API is a very
complex piece of work and despite our best efforts to cover all the
upgrade scenarios we could think of, we've clearly missed a few.

Christian and I are actively tracking and fixing any bug that's reported
on Github and we'll be happy to hand out custom LXD builds to reporters
to unjam whatever went wrong before we tag another bugfix release for
this work.


We've also held publishing of LXD 2.9 to Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.10
users (in the backports pocket) until we get those issues sorted, though
PPA or Ubuntu 17.04 (devel) users will still be getting LXD 2.9.
