I notice this error tryng a LXC container:

INFO: catalog upload error - channel closed

INFO: Error: error at "var/www/domains/xxx/public_html/var/session": exceeded allowed number of file entries (> 1048576)

INFO: cleanup temporary 'vzdump' snapshot

I this is the same problem: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3069

Thanks!
