I first tried to shutdown the container but it returned a timeout (60s). Then tried to stop but also failed.

Code:
pct list
VMID       Status     Lock         Name
50011      running                 dc-btsip-01

So I decided to kill the related lxc process but wasn't been able to find it !

Code:
ps aux | grep 50011
root       17754  0.0  0.0  48228  3640 ?        Ss   Jan30   2:31 [lxc monitor] /var/lib/lxc 50011
root     3913615  0.0  0.0  12788   932 pts/2    S+   18:51   0:00 grep 50011

The weird thing is that CT 50011 is still responding to ping but I'm not able to enter the console.

What could I do ?

Thanks in advanced !

I also forgot to mention that the root storage (ceph) is available
 
Based on your listing: Yes, 17754 is the process you want to kill if the nice ways of shutting down the container have failed.
 
Is there a way to shutdown 50011 veth interfaces ?

Code:
 ip a | grep 50011
36: veth50011i0@if35: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr0v50 state UP group default qlen 1000
38: veth50011i1@if37: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr0v193 state UP group default qlen 1000
 
Thanks,

I tried but

Code:
ip link delete veth50011i0@if35
Error: argument "veth50011i0@if35" is wrong: "dev" not a valid ifname
 
Hi,

Reboot node was mandatory to fix the issue.

I deplore that lxc is so shitty.
Ok there is no overhead compared to kvm but there are lot of limitations (live migrate first of all, until recently nfs/cifs mounts...).

IMHO if you want containers you'd better use swarm/kubernetes. (inside a proxmox KVM machine indeed). Today KVM CPU performances is nearly bear metal...
