Hello,

after a manually stop of a container it isn't possible to start it again.

Code:
root@Proxmox:~# systemctl status pve-container@100.service

● pve-container@100.service - PVE LXC Container: 100

Thanks for help :)
 
Hi,

Please post the complete logs to understand what is going on, lxc-start -n 100 -F -l DEBUG -o /tmp/lxc-100.log and pveverion -v and pct config 100 as well.

please post the contents of the file /tmp/lxc-100.log (that is the debug log we need. the command you ran creates that. sorry for the misunderstanding). you can attach that here as txt

Output of pveverion -v :
seems like this was mistyped, it should be pveversion -v
 
Plus, I've been acting really weird.

when i log back on to the webinterface after a day or more i see only grey question marks everywhere and the server does not respond to any of my entries.
also the command "htop" cannot be listed on the console via ssh. i have to restart the server (manually, via console or webinterface it does not respond)

Can somebody help me? I'm desperate here.

okay i see this line: Script exec /usr/share/lxc/hooks/lxc-pve-prestart-hook 100 lxc pre-start produced output: unable to detect OS distribution

which usually means the zpool isn't being mounted. (your container is on local-zfs).

following commands should help us debug further:
Code:
zfs get all
zpool status

you can also try: zpool import POOLNAME where POOLNAME is the name of your pool

What was the resolution to this? it is marked as solved. I am having the exact same problem. All containers greyed out after reboot and cant start. all zfs.
 
I just encountered this issue as well. What worked for me was the following:
  1. Delete the (empty) subvol mount point:
    rmdir /tank/vmdata/subvol-100-disk-0
  2. Mount the ZFS filesystem:
    zfs mount tank/vmdata/subvol-100-disk-0
This seems like a workaround, and I'm still not sure what the root issue is. But this worked in a pinch to get some containers back up and running.
