LXC CT won't start, but no error displayed

[kotakomputer]

When I click start on one of my LXC CT its show "Status Ok", but the CT still not started. Another CT on same server has no problem.

# lxc-start -n 656 -F -l DEBUG -o /tmp/lxc-656.log

See my attachment: lxc-656.log

I have try to update to latest version then restart Server but still not help.

~# pveversion
pve-manager/5.2-7/8d88e66a (running kernel: 4.15.18-2-pve)

is the container really not running (e.g. what does 'pct enter ID' do ?)
or do you maybe encounter this bug: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854

Nothing happen when use pct enter, as shown below:

root@sds-002:~# pct start 656
root@sds-002:~# pct enter 656
Error: container '656' not running!
root@sds-002:~#

Can you post the output of pct config <VMID>?

In searching I came across this post and I am having the exact same problem on one of my container (plex container). Even after reboot of proxmox, when I start the container, it does not start yet no errors.

root@proxmox:~# pct start 103
root@proxmox:~# pct enter 103
Error: container '103' not running!

and the container config file for 103.conf is

arch: amd64
cores: 1
hostname: PlexServer
memory: 4096
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,gw=192.168.11.1,hwaddr=4E:4B:7F:03:9F:4D,ip=192.168.11.171/24,type=veth
onboot: 1
ostype: ubuntu
rootfs: local-zfs:subvol-103-disk-0,size=8G
swap: 512

Any thoughts on why it may not be starting?

I believe I found the issue/solution and that my container disk size was too small. by increasing/resizing the disk the container restarted.

pct resize 103 rootfs 32G
