Hi, I want to restore a LXC backup, and I am getting this error:

vm 0 - unable to parse value of 'unnused' - unknown setting 'unnused'
TASK ERROR: unable to restore CT 480 - unable to detect disk size - please specify rootfs (size)


The backup configuration shows that the rootfs option is missing the filesize.

...
rootfs: tb2:subvol-181-disk
...
unnused: local-lvm:vm-181-disk-0,size=12G


How do I edit the backup config to specify the size and to remove the "unused" option? (weird typo for "unnused" btw, but the VM ran with it)

I also tried qmrestore from CLI, but according to the help page it doesn't have an option to set the size.

thanks in advance!
