"maas admin boot-resources create" fails in 3.0

[zephrant]

I suspect there is an issue with the 3.0 snap and the command for copying an image:

root@server:/home# maas admin boot-resources create name=‘esxi/7.0’ title=‘VMware ESXi 7.0’ architecture=‘amd64/generic’ filetype=‘ddgz’ content@=/home/vmware-esxi.dd.gz
usage: maas [-h] COMMAND …

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

drill down:
COMMAND
login Log in to a remote API, and remember its description and credentials.
logout Log out of a remote API, purging any stored credentials.
list List remote APIs that have been logged-in to.
refresh Refresh the API descriptions of all profiles.

The command fails when tried with user admin or root, with the file located in /home, /media or /root. I’m guessing that it’s trying to write to the snap somehow, which fails.

Instructions taken from here: Provision ESXi with MAAS

I’ve confirmed that it fails with another image too. It can’t read the image in /root, (file not found), but can find it in /home or /tmp, just not upload it.
