[SOLVED] LXC container inaccessible

[walter.egosson]

Hi Guys,
One of our LXC container went inaccessible:
- ssh time out
- noVNC console and Webinteface console goes black screen with a cursor blink
- sudo pct enter <CTID> gives black screen as well
But It is still possible to ping the container.

The thing is we'va had had this issue before (with the same CT) and whe trying to hard reboot/shutdown it fails and we had to reboot the whole node to get the CT back. Is there any better way to shutdown the CT?
Thanks!

my config:
- proxmox 6.1-8
- pve-manager/6.1-8/806edfe1 (running kernel: 5.3.18-3-pve)
- 3 nodes
- ceph storage

hi,

what's running in the CT? can you provide the config? (pct config CTID)

pct stop CTID if that doesn't work for some reason use ps aux | grep CTID to find the PID and kill -9 PID
