[SOLVED] Latest kernel update hangs

[cdukes]

I am unable to update one of our servers.
It's been waiting here for about an hour:

Setting up pve-kernel-4.4.13-2-pve (4.4.13-58) ...
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.4.13-2-pve /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.13-2-pve
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 4.4.13-2-pve /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.13-2-pve
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.13-2-pve

Very odd, nothing like that for me on many servers of mine.

Maybe if you can safely stop your VMs, force reboot the machine and try again ?

I was afraid of that being the next step
I'll have to schedule downtime.

Aha!
An NFS mount was hung. Thanks!
All better now

I have the same problem, how you solved the NFS problem

I have the same problem, how you solved the NFS problem

The problem is not Proxmox, it was NFS - in my case, our NFS server mount was hung.

 

[Vito Balsamo]

ok, but
how you unlocked the NFS service ?????
the problem in my case is the client NFS in Proxmox

 

[cdukes]

If it's on the proxmox server, you can try:

service nfs-common restart

But that may not work - restarting the Proxmox server would probably be the easiest way.
If you mean from your NFS server, it depend on the OS - googling may help
