Cant create containers

[adamjseed]

Hi all,

I am having a bit of an issue with a fairly new install of proxmox 2.2. I cant seem to create any containers, when I go though the web ui wizard i get the error:

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]Creating container private area (/var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-12.04-x86_64.tar.gz)[/FONT][/COLOR]

I did have some errors on the FS which have now been fixed and I looked into this a few days ago and came across quota which may be the cause but im at a loss on how to debug the issue, never mind fix it.

I have check spaces and there is plenty of room on my /var/lib/vz and the area where i put the containers /mnt/vm

any suggests are welcomed.

Hi,
you wrote you have filesystem errors - is the template damaged? Have you tried another template?

Hi,

No im 99% sure the templates are fine, I have a few and have tried all of them. The filesystem errors have now been resolved by fdisk.

Have you re-downloaded the templates to make sure that using fdisk didn't make a mess of them, if they are stored on the same disk?

 

[adamjseed]

Jac2703, you are a genius, It must of broken them... very strange as everything else looks to be ok.

Redownload the images and they are working.

fdisk???
I guess fsck is the better tool for filesystem errors.
