Hi all,
I upgraded from Proxmox 7 to 8 today and everything worked without showing any errors. VMs are starting and running as expected but LXC container do not start (tried also a completely new container but same behavior)
I already googled the error messages but I haven't found a solution yet.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix the Permission denied error and being able to turn new root mount tree to a shared one?
