Ah, I found out what is causing this. I was unfortunate to choose my containers name such that LXD thinks one is a snapshot of the other.
Simple test root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04-second Creating test04-second root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04 Creating test04 root@rapper:~# lxc delete test04 Error: Error deleting storage volume: Cannot remove a volume that has snapshots Also renaming (moving) doesn't work for this one. root@rapper:~# lxc move test04 test04-first Error: Rename instance: Failed to run: lvrename /dev/rapper-vg2/containers_test04---second /dev/rapper-vg2/containers_test04--first---second: Existing logical volume "containers_test04---second" not found in volume group "rapper-vg2" And what interesting is that you can only use a hyphen as a separator, not an underscore. root@rapper:~# lxc init images:ubuntu/bionic/amd64 -p pool2 test04_first Creating test04_first Error: Failed instance creation: Invalid instance name: Name can only contain alphanumeric and hyphen characters Now I have to find a trick to mislead LXD so that the containers can be deleted. -- Kees On 07-05-2020 09:03, Kees Bakker wrote: > Hi, > > When I want to delete a container I'm getting this error > > root@ijssel:~# lxc delete jenkins > Error: Error deleting storage volume: Cannot remove a volume that has > snapshots > > However, it has no snapshots. > > root@ijssel:~# lxc info jenkins > Name: jenkins > Location: ijssel > Remote: unix:// > Architecture: x86_64 > Created: 2020/04/24 09:01 UTC > Status: Stopped > Type: container > Profiles: default > > This is on Ubuntu 20.04 with lxd 4.0.1 (14954) from snap. > The storage is lvm. > > There is a little bit of history that is of interest. > I had a container, "jenkins-template", with a snapshot. > Then I did a "lxc copy" of that snapshot to a new container, > called "jenkins", the one that I'm trying to delete now. > In the meantime I have already deleted the snapshot of "jenkins-template", > because I thought that would help. > Now, there are no snapshots at all on the system.
