Add custom volume transfer to lxd-migrate

Open stgraber opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Currently lxd-migrate only supports moving full instances, but having support to move custom volumes too would be quite useful.

We should allow:

  • Transfer a filesystem tree into a new filesystem type custom volume
  • Transfer a block device into a new block type custom volume
  • Allow for custom volumes to be added as part of migrating instances, so one can add a number of custom volumes as part of the migration and have those attached to the instance at the end of it

I would like to work on adding enhanced custom volume support to lxd-migrate as a beginner. This includes the ability to transfer filesystem trees and block devices into new custom volumes, as well as attaching custom volumes during instance migration. I believe this feature would greatly benefit users. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi , I’m interested in helping with this issue. Anyone are still actively working on it, or would it be okay if I contribute?
