[LXD] lxc copy seems to not understand hardlinks with dir driver

Hi,

I have a container on one host node using the dir driver, inside this container rsnapshot is being used to create backups.

I am now migrating this container to another host node, same settings.

However, I’ve verified in the new rootfs that the incremental backup gets copied over and over again (no hardlinks are copied).

Is this the expected behavior?

How about other system files, can the CT become corrupted if a hard link is expected but instead a plain old file copy is written?

EDIT: this only happens when copying from remote via https, local lxc copy preserves hardlinks.

Thank you
