Invalid storage volume content type name

[jamielsharief]

Previously I could create a volume on a storage pool via the API by posting the following data to /storage-pools/default/volumes, however now I am getting the error Invalid storage volume content type name

Array
(
    [name] => volume-58da
    [type] => custom
    [config] => Array
        (
            [size] => 5GB
        )

    [driver] => zfs
)

Note: the same error occurs if using the example from the REST docs

{
    "config": {},
    "name": "vol1",
    "type": "custom"
}

@tomponline can you take a quick look? Feels like we're failing to default to fs content type when not specified?

[tomponline]

@stgraber yep will do

[tomponline]

@jamielsharief also what version of LXD please

[tomponline]

I think ive found the issue

[tomponline]

@jamielsharief by the way in the interim you can also complete the request by providing the content_type field set to "filesystem" (which will be the default if empty) of "block" for block volumes.

Sorry for the delay

• LXD version 4.8

note. The manual says set to custom but I had tried filesystem earlier but it said I don't have permissions. I am trying to look into now, just LXD is giving EOF errors on everything. I will let you know shortly.

[tomponline]

volume type (custom) and content_type are different concepts.

[tomponline]

@jamielsharief do you have a reproducer using lxc query command?

[jamielsharief]

The EOF error was caused because of change I made before i left earlier, ignore that comment.

I have added the content_type and it now works again, my PHPUnit tests from 2-3 months ago stopped working as well, so I presume this is something to do with a recent update?
