Hi,

I have just updated packages of PVE 3.3.
The update was interrupted and the server was not responsive.

Then I did hard reset of the server, and finished the package update via CLI with apt-get update.
However, I cannot start VMs.

In Syslog I can see latest entry for VM that is supposed to start up with host.
But the VM is effectively not starting, and I cannot find any indicator in Syslog for the failure.

What else should I check for additional information of the root cause?
What other logs are relevant?

My next step is to start the VM via CLI using qm start <vmid>.
Is there an option that could be used in order to get more details for the start up displaying errors etc.?

THX

Update:
LV /var/lib/vz (=data) was running out of disk space.
After releasing some disk space all VMs are running again.

Hi!

I'm off and cannot execute the VM start command right now.

However, as the "automatic" start fails, I thought there should be some logging on that failure.
Where can I find those logs providing potential information for the start failure?
