Backups had stopped running for a few days due to an existing
Code:
/var/run/vzdump.lock
So I removed that and re ran /etc/cron.d/vzdump
Code:
vzdump --quiet --suspend --storage pvebackup --mailto fbcadmin@fantinibakery.com --all
which worked for 14 of 15 systems. this one failed :

It is a new container , testing ldap .

Another thread showed a similar problem, but the cause does not exist here - running ntp in a container. http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/5181-Vzdump-problem?highlight=suspend+failled

I can not enter or stop the container:
Code:
vzctl enter 146
enter into CT 146 failed

vzctl --verbose  stop 146
Stopping container ...
Unable to stop container: operation timed out
pveversion -v :
Code:

vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1

Any suggestions to
1- stop the container
2- figure out what caused the problem so it can be fixed?

ps after running vzdump from cli this file was left
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root       root          0 Dec 13 05:10 vzdump.lock


thanks
