Hello,

after apt full-upgrade and reboot of the host, my lxc do not start anymore.

Log shows:

Has someone an idea?

Hello,

All LXCs have the same results? Please provide us with the container config (pct config CTID) and the output of pveversion -v as well

I use openvswitch.
ovs-vsctl show:
Code: 
7e6748ac-cd86-41bb-8871-13bfe1b649a6
    Bridge vmbr0
        Port vlan1

        Port enp3s0

            Interface enp3s0

            Interface vmbr0
                type: internal
    ovs_version: "2.15.0"

After I enable the firewall in CT, the container starts working; when I disable the firewall, I get the error message again.

A similar problem occurs if I try to boot a VM instead of CT:

Code: 
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
TASK ERROR: command '/sbin/bridge fdb append AA:EB:24:B9:21:4F dev tap501i0 master static' failed: exit code 255

Unlike CT, however, VM will still start.

Had the same issue after updating proxmox an hour ago. Found this and installing "binutils" fixed it.

Is this the official way to fix it or just a workaround?
 
HUGE thank you to this thread. Installing binutils AND rebooting the node solved my container issues.
 
Had a similar issue, could not get LXC container to start after upgrading to 7.2-14 from 7.2-11

The errors I got were as follows:
-------------------------------
run_buffer: 321 Script exited with status 2
lxc_init: 847 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "120"
__lxc_start: 2008 Failed to initialize container "120"
TASK ERROR: startup for container '120' failed
-------------------------------

Thanks to this post I did this:
apt-get install binutils

Started LXC container and it started up without error.
 
This morning, I have updated Proxmox to 7.2-14 and no LXC started. The binutils fixed it.
 
I had the same issue, no containers would start and all my services were down. What is odd is the update is still available without the fix included. How many more will screw up their systems for no good reason.
