Hi everyone First time posting so sorry if this is a bit mad but since i did the lastest update to Proxmox none of my LXc's will start thay all fail with the following error messages!

run_buffer: 571 Script exited with status 1
lxc_init: 845 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "514"
__lxc_start: 2046 Failed to initialize container "514"
TASK ERROR: startup for container '514' failed

I have made no changes but the Proxmox update. Virtual Environment 9.1.5
can some one help as one of the KXC is my Jellyfin container that i use every day !
am i being thick and missing something silly ?

They make things readable.
Can you try removing this for now?
Bash: 
mp0: /mnt/media,mp=media
It looks wrong too. It should be a full path. Was this CT privileged at some point?

no none of the LXC have ever been privileged and the line mp0: /mnt/media,mp=media has always worked untill this proxmox update the lxc have been running for over a year at this point .
 
Is that all that changed in the output? The actual idea was to try without it entirely.
Can you also check the node's system log around that time?
