Hello everybody,

I have rebooted my server to give it a hardware upgrade and when I booted it up, none of my two lxc containers will start.

this looks like the culprit.

according to your container configuration, your container is a debian. there should be a file in `/etc/debian_version` inside the container rootfs.

we can check this by mounting the container since it doesn't boot.

Code: 
$ pct mount 100
mounted CT 100 in '/var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs'
$ cat /var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs/etc/debian_version
9.9

do you see the contents of the file when you follow the commands? should tell you the version.

the reason you get "unable to detect OS distribution" might be because this file was somehow deleted or your containers filesystem might be corrupted or similar. but idk why this would happen after a hardware upgrade unless you changed your disk... did you do something else?
 
The upgrades I have added is that I added Caddies for the disks because they were flying. I have put them in the exact order they were before.

I will check what you told me now
 
This was the output

Code: 
root@pve:/var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs# cat /var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs/etc/debian_version
cat: /var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs/etc/debian_version: No such file or directory
 
is there any other file in the container at all??

it's weird that only this file would disappear/be deleted.

in any case, if that's the only missing file from the container, you can just try

Code: 
echo "9.9" > /var/lib/lxc/100/rootfs/etc/debian_version

and then starting it... but how did this happen in the first place? are you sure the rootfs is intact?
