I just did start testing a Fresh installed Proxmox server at Hetzer.de

Had a problem with installing a openVZ. When i did a reboot of Proxmox the
second OpenVZ did work. Gues that was needed when i first in stall fresh Proxmox.

But now a not existing openvz is in the Proxmox Gui and i cant remove it.

stat(/var/lib/vz/root/100): No such file or directory
Container is currently mounted (umount first) <--------------- did try to unmount (Openvz command) but again error ...
TASK ERROR: command 'vzctl destroy 100' failed: exit code 41

So how can i destroy this open vz thats is only in the Gui and not real on the server !?? :confused:

(Because i did not a reboot at fresh install this error..) After reboot all ok.

Directory /proc/vz not found, assuming non-OpenVZ kernel
Container init failed: Cgroup is not mounted
TASK ERROR: command 'vzctl start 100' failed: exit code 5


PROBLEM SOLVED BY MY MY SELF :D

Goto /etc/pve/nodes/static/openvz ---> There was a file 100.conf Jus had to delete this file :p

My issue started when I tried to create a VZ from template into an NFS Shared Storage. It was not supported.
I'm sure I could have removed it then, but I tried to start the container since it did create it.
That's when the issue happened about not being able to remove. Total error output was
Code:
[FONT=tahoma]stat(/var/lib/vz/private/102): No such file or directory
[/FONT][FONT=tahoma]Container is currently mounted (umount first)
TASK ERROR: command 'vzctl destroy 102' failed: exit code 41[/FONT]


Had to navigate to
Code:
/etc/pve/nodes/proxmox/openvz
rm "VM-NUMBER".conf
As soon as I removed it, it vanished from my webGUI. I had it open while I removed it through SSH (Putty).

Not sure if that helps someone

Yes helped me :D
I found the configuration file in /etc/vz/conf

for proxmox 3.3.5

Perfect!

That did the trick, I ran "rm /etc/pve/nodes/vm-home/openvz/103.conf".

Of course, that command is specific to my setup.
