Cant start Guest on Promox 3.1 unable to parse worker upid '...'

[mgerste]

After an uptime > 600 i had to restart a guest. But now i cant boot the VM

Error starting worker failed: unable to parse worker upid 'UPIDroxmox:00095558:106951258:53EC9BDC:vncproxy:105:root@pam:' (500)

Any Idea?

Hi, this bug is fixed in proxmox 3.2, so update if you can.

is there a quick workaround for that maybe? The server in question is about to be decommissioned anyhow (different guy, same problem. its a super old 2.3 even)

Hi all,

have all CT's and VM's restart ? when we restart pvedaemon

(My english is not well, Please help me. )

Made the required changes to /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm and also to /usr/share/pve-manager/ext4/pvemanagerlib.orig.js

and then, /etc/init.d/pvedaemon start

...but still receiving the error.

Really want to avoid rebooting the system, and just need backups to run again.

Running vzdump from the command line also fails. any ideas for a workaround?
