Hello, I’ve got a LXD VM that is in ERROR state and I cannot find out why it’s failing. I am able to reproduce it - but I’m not sure where I can find the logs.
I’ve been using the following methods to look at the logs:

  • lxc info <VM-name> --show-log
  • lxc monitor <VM-name> --type=logging
  • sudo snap logs lxd

The only log that I get is the following warning log, which I’m not sure is contributing to the machine going into the ERROR state.

2025-06-05T11:52:51Z lxd.daemon[2650]: time="2025-06-05T11:52:51Z" level=warning msg="The backing filesystem doesn't support quotas, skipping set quota" driver=dir path=/var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/storage-pools/default/virtual-machines/openstack pool=default size=200104861696 volID=83

Hi. Could you provide a bit more info like is this a single node or a clustered installation, what storage are you using, are there other instances (containers/vms) running ok? Did you try restarting the server? Thanks.
