Hi,

I have the same problem after upgrading the proxmox !
commenting /sbin/start_udev in /etc/rc.sysinit does not fix the problem

 

[kamranonline]

?

 

[jazzl0ver]

faced same issue. any suggestions?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

what OS is in the containers?

if there is a `/etc/fstab` in the containers please post it
(if it contains a devpts entry try commenting /removing it and restarting the container)

 

[jazzl0ver]

OS is CentOS 6 i386 (with latest system updates installed), "unpriviledged container" is set to "No".
There indeed was a devpts line in the fstab, I've removed it and unmounted /dev/pts from shell. Now the issue's gone (no container restart required).

Thanks for your prompt help!
