LXC / LXD 2.0 Mount Errors

2018-02-23

Symptom

root@ip-1-2-3-4:~# lxc list
cannot perform operation: mount /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/var/lib/lxd /var/lib/lxd -o nosuid,nodev,noexec,rbind,rslave: Permission denied

OS: Ubuntu 16.04

LXC installed via snap

Fix

systemctl stop snap.lxd.daemon
test -h /var/lib/lxd && unlink /var/lib/lxd
mkdir /var/lib/lxd
mount --bind /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd /var/lib/lxd
systemctl start snap.lxd.daemon

Appears to work fine. Not yet clear on how things got into this broken state.
