Thank you.

Why do you use such setup?
VE_ROOT="/var/lib/vz/root/100"
VE_PRIVATE="/images/private/100"

Does it work when you use the default setup (VE_PRIVATE="/var/lib/vz/private/100")
 
Hi Dietmar,

I just install Proxmox VE 3.0 and then create CT (VZ100) on local directory and after that I attache SSD Drive for FlashCache name "/dev/sdd" and create mount point as "/images"

Actually It working normally on Proxmox. So it interference ?
 
I already change FlashCache mount point to other name and remove /images and reboot
After reboot CT can't start it notice :

Code:
stat(/images/private/100): No such file or directory
Then I just restore the backup to CT and start again it run normally.

# df -vh
