Hi All,

how can I copy a container between LXD instances without all its snapshots?
I read at 
https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/22/lxd-2-0-your-first-lxd-container/

"The destination container will be identical in every way to the source 
one, except it won’t have any snapshot and volatile keys (MAC address) 
will be reset."

But my invoked command "lxc copy remotebox:ubuntu16 ubuntu16" did copy 
all snapshots, which took a long time.. - both of my LXD servers are 
using ZFS.

Kind regards,
Ingo
