[Bidi]

Hello,

I started to have a problem, cloning an lxc, was working before and now i start to get this error even if i recreate the lxc, tryed 10 times allready.

I use proxmox 5.2

losetup: /var/lib/vz/images/1000/base-1000-disk-1.raw: failed to set up loop device: Operation not permitted
TASK ERROR: clone failed: command 'losetup --show -f /var/lib/vz/images/1000/base-1000-disk-1.raw' failed: exit code 1

Any ideas about this ?

losetup: /var/lib/vz/images/1000/base-1000-disk-1.raw: failed to set up loop device: Operation not permitted
TASK ERROR: clone failed: command 'losetup --show -f /var/lib/vz/images/1000/base-1000-disk-1.raw' failed: exit code 1

Try

losetup /dev/loop0 /var/lib/vz/images/1000/base-1000-disk-1.raw

Check possibly which loop devices are already occupied before by

losetup -a

and use the next free one (instead of /dev/loop0 in the command above).
