Problem with networking in an openVZ container on a NAS - Proxmox 2.1

[woupida]

Hi all,

I have been using Proxmox 1.5 and decided to upgrade to 2.1 essentially because of support of OpenVZ container on NAS.
Containers (debian 5.0.2 template) can be created on my NAS but have network problems. No network (I choses venet option).
ifconfig gives nothing
/etc/init.d/networking start gives :

"Configuring network Interfaces...ifup: failed to lock statefile
/etc/network/run/ifstate: No locks avalaible
Failed."

/etc/network/run/ifstate does exist.

here is /etc/network/interfaces (got from the console) :
...
# Auto generated lo interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Auto generated venet0 interface
auto venet0
iface venet0 inet manual
up ifconfig venet0 up
up ifconfig venet0 127.0.0.2
up route add default dev venet0
down ifconfig venet0 down

iface venet0 inet6 manual
up route -A inet6 add default dev venet0
down route -A inet6 del default dev venet0

auto venet0:0
iface venet0:0 inet static
address 172.16.30.117
netmask 255.255.255.255

Does anyone has any idea to solve this problem ?

Cheers,

André

Hi,

To solve the problem, I googled 'no locks available NFS' and it appears that NFS volumes must be mounted with 'nolock' option. So I modified /etc/pve/storage.cfg to add this option, wich gives :

nfs: NAS
path /mnt/pve/NAS
server 172.16.30.52
export /Proxmox
options vers=3,nolock
content backup,rootdir
maxfiles 1

As far as I know it is not possible to add this option through the GUI.
