Can't lock container

[decibel83]

Hi.

I'm trying to create a new container in my Proxmox 3.1-3 environment, but I'm continuously having the following error:

Error: can't lock container 1002

The id of the new container is 1002, of course, but I tried with other numbers too (110 for example), and I got the same error.

The /var/lib/vz/private directory exists and /var/lib/vz has 500G of space available.

I also tried to restart the server without solving the problem.

This is my pveversion:

root@pve /var/lib/vz # pveversion -v
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.1-109 (running kernel: 2.6.32-23-pve)

Do you run a cluster?

 

[decibel83]

No, I'm not running a cluster.

 

[dietmar]

What is the output of

# ls -l /etc/pve/openvz

 

[decibel83]

root@ve10 /var/lib/vz # ls -l /etc/pve/openvz
lrwxr-x--- 1 root www-data 0 Jan 1 1970 /etc/pve/openvz -> nodes/ve10/openvz

 

[dietmar]

And what is the output of

# df /var/lib/vz/lock/

 

[decibel83]

Don't have this directory:

root@ve10 ~ # df /var/lib/vz/lock/
df: `/var/lib/vz/lock/': No such file or directory
df: no file systems processed

 

[dietmar]

Ah, so please create it and try again:

# mkdir /var/lib/vz/lock/

 

[maykel535]

Ah, so please create it and try again:

# mkdir /var/lib/vz/lock/

Thanks Dietmar. I have the same problem and with mkdir /var/lib/vz/lock it works!!!

Thanks for all.

The problem is reduce lvm logical volume and not exec resize2fs /dev/pve/data ....

All ok, thanks!!
