I've looked at ct migration between 2 ubuntu 16.04 hosts today, and had
some interesting problems;  I find that migration of stopped containers
works fairly reliably; but live migration, well, it transfers a lot of
data, then exits with a failure message. I can then move the same
container, stopped, with no problem.

The error is the same every time, a failure of "mkdtemp" -


root@ronnie:~# lxc move third lxd:
error: Error transferring container data: restore failed:

Thanks for any pointers you can provide -

PS  - on a side note, I'd originally set up the new box with a separate
/var partition on btrfs. As a result, "criu check" would die instantly with
a segmentation error. After putting /var back on / (ext4) criu check
produces the message "Looks good."
