Proxmox 4.3 OVH installer fails to start LXC containers

Mail to OVH:

"Please note that this is a bug on your installer, I just felt right to report it.

It doesn't affect me, because I am using custom install https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Jessie from USB stick


the failing message is missing /var/lib/lxcfs/proc/ - lxcfs not running

Simple workaround...:

mkdir /var/lib/lxcfs/proc

It's safe and works for me.

Thank you for this! I just installed V4.3 yesterday and was wondering what the issue was!

Thanks for the tip. I shall inform OVH.

OVH response: "The issue has been fixed for the new reinstallation.
So, you can reinstall the server or you use this workaround solution:
rm -rf /var/lib/lxcfs/* && systemctl restart lxcfs"
