How to restart a mounted container.

[karlos]

Somehow or other a ubuntu container will not start, when I restart it it's status just returns to mounted. Something may have happened when I was doing a migration between nodes.

I'm a novice but I entered 'qm reseume 102' and it said unable to read config

The log just states that it has started...

you need to wait about 5 minutes, then the container should start.

with 'qm' you can only manage KVM guests.
the tool you are looking for is 'vzctl', see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Vzctl_manual

try:

vzctl start 102

thanks for the reply Tom, does the vzctl command do the same as the web interface start command? I had left it there for a while but it didnt start, the sys log says it has started...

 

[tom]

yes. do you get any logs?

Any hint in the init log? Use the web interface, or do:

# cat /var/lib/vz/private/102/var/log/init.log

I did that command but it came up No such file or directory, I don't think theres been a log there since the mount error.
I'm not sure what happened here but it makes me a bit worried about cluster migration because thats where the problem started.

Under storage it shows Used 7.35GB and Capacity 9.35, this is the default plus 3 containers. When I migrated at one point this read Used 9.35.

How and should this be expanded?
I'm running in vmware and made the HDD 20gb so I figure 9.35 is some sort of default.
