Hi all.
I have a problem with a proxmox server that shows all LXC containers stopped.
pve-manager/5.3-5/97ae681d (running kernel: 4.4.6-1-pve)

Containers are online and working, but all pct commands fail:

Code:
#pct list

Failed to load config for 108
Failure to retrieve information on /var/lib/lxc:108
command 'lxc-info -n 108 -p' failed: exit code 1
Failed to load config for 101
Failure to retrieve information on /var/lib/lxc:101
command 'lxc-info -n 101 -p' failed: exit code 1
Failed to load config for 110

Neither work pct stop or start:

Code:
# pct stop 104
Failed to load config for 104


Code:
#pct start 104
CT 104 already running

Code:
#pct list
[...]
VMID       Status     Lock         Name               
104        stopped                 pruebas

Not sure where the problem is. Any clue?

Thanks, Stoiko!
I was looking elsewhere, didn't see that.
In fact, problems started after (failed) update, so it seems kernel was not updated but some other packages did :-/
Do you think a dist-upgrade would fix this?
 
Code:
apt update
apt full-upgrade

and checking the output should get you started in fixing the upgrade problem (and probably will fix it right away)
