Hi,

After upgrading from 5.3 -> 5.4 -> 6.2 I have now seen this error in different places.
Code:
can't open '/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio///lxc/101/blkio.throttle.io_service_bytes_recursive' - No such file or directory (500)

In the webgui the status of my containers are unknown, also the new containers created after the upgrade. The containers can start and are available/accesible.

I also see this error when running pct status 101.

I'm really no shark in proxmox, and I can't relate this error to anything else on the forum. If any more info is needed - say the word.

Thank you for reading.

Code:

hi,

what does ls -lai /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/lxc/ return?

do you see any directories lke 101-1 ?
 
I do not see anything like 101-1

hmm okay.

i see here: 4.15.18-10-pve

seems like you've upgraded the packages but haven't rebooted for the new kernel to take effect?
 
As you can see I rebooted this morning.
Hmm.. anything I can do to make the new kernel take effect then?

- thanks a lot for your ideas btw.

Code:
root@pve:~# last reboot

Hmm.. anything I can do to make the new kernel take effect then?
normally it will update the initramfs and fix the bootloader entry automatically with the apt hooks during the installation.
are you using UEFI boot ? ls /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ if the directory has any files it means yes.

if yes, then try running pve-efiboot-tool kernel list to see the available/loaded kernels. check the output to see which kernel is selected.

pve-efiboot-tool refresh will copy found kernels and create boot entries.


afterwards you should be booting into the new kernel.
 
in that case you can just try running update-grub and rebooting
 
Maybe it is obvious what to do next?
I rebooted again afterwards. Still get the same error.

can you post the output of find /boot ?
 
huh!

you have: /boot/grub/x86_64-efi and /boot/grub/i386-pc/. so there's two installations of grub in /boot (not sure how that happened), and i guess the one you're booting from isn't being correctly updated with the apt hook.

can you also post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? most likely there's something which isn't being updated correctly to boot the new vmlinuz and initrd
 
If only I remember what I did. It (PROBABLY)has something to do with me installing an SSD where there is room for an optical drive. Not being able to boot from it, I think there is some kind of 'redirect' from another (bootable) flash drive. Maybe that doesn't make any sense. :)

I think there is some kind of 'redirect' from another (bootable) flash drive.

so which drive are you booting from? if there's something like that, that explains why it's stuck with the old kernel (since grub there isn't being updated)

can you post lsblk -f ?

/dev/sdc1 sticks out the most to me. can you mount it and see what's inside? maybe that's your "boot drive"...
Code:
mkdir /mnt/test
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
find /mnt/test

you don't need to post the output here, just check if there are any boot related stuff in there.

not sure how you set up your "redirect" but if you're not booting the correct drive, then it's likely that you'll need to update your "redirect" or fix the booting problem.
 
Plenty of boot/grub/i386-pc/ stuff in /dev/sdc1

I guess that is not much of a pve issue... :)
I'll look into it then. Thanks for the help and getting me this far.

great. you're welcome!

once the new kernel is booted the error message should disappear. (it's actually just failing to fetch the i/o stats, because of the package versions it's trying to use cgroupv2 but you're running an older kernel which makes it falsely behave in cgroupv1 manner)

Man.. thanks again! As you predicted it would work when I updated it. - and it works great now! Instead of update-grub I did the following on the mounted drive ( + a reboot):
Code:
root@pve:/boot# cd /mnt/test/
root@pve:/mnt/test# grub-mkconfig -o boot/grub/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...

great, just remember that you will need to do this every time there's a kernel update (with this setup at least)
