Weekly status for the week of 25th November to 1st December.
Introduction
The highlight of the past week was the release of LXD 6.2. Additionally, LXD received several bug fixes and a new feature that allows listing images from all projects.
Thanks to all the contributors!
List images from all projects (from Incus)
Images from all project can now be listed using --all-projects flag.
lxc image list --all-projects
Bug Fixes
-
Improved matching logic for
productidandvendoridto support discovering devices with shared product or vendor IDs. -
Fixed an issue where LXD incorrectly prevented adding a GPU device using the DRM card ID, even when the device was present.
-
Remove redundant configuration key
security.sharedfor CephFS because it does not support block volumes. -
Fixed an issue where a network that was unable to start due to incorrect server or cluster global configuration would continue failing even after the configuration was corrected. LXD now ensures each retry uses the latest configuration.
-
Improved error messages to consistently use the term
cluster memberinstead of mixing it withnode. -
Fixed an issue where an image was allowed to be deleted during unpacking, causing instance initialization to fail. A lock is now used to ensure image unpack is not disturbed. (from Incus)
-
Fixed an issue where the local config file was not created when only the
lxcclient, without the server, was installed on the host. (from Incus) -
Improved
lxcauto-completion for unsetting configuration keys to suggest only currently configured keys. -
Fixed an issue where OVMF and CSM firmwares were not upgraded despite being removed from the LXD snap.
