Latest update to PVE broke my containers.
I had installed a simplified Debian containers from LinuxContainer.org (for example: https://us.images.linuxcontainers.o...er/amd64/default/20191119_05:24/rootfs.tar.xz) and have a "bind mount" to ZFS directory in lxc configuration.

When i starting a container with pct start 104 a got a segfault:
Nov 26 07:20:48 pve01 kernel: [206352.372800] lxc-start[14951]: segfault at 50 ip 00007f955159ef8b sp 00007ffd91d23de0 error 4 in liblxc.so.1.6.0[7f9551545000+8a000]

edit:
Fixed it... I'll leave this for future wanderers.

One of my zfs didn't mount... had some other zfs strangeness and it all cleared up after I unmounted each one at a time, cleared out the mount points and remounted them with zfs mount -a (which recreated the mountpoints)

Is it odd that this caused the same segfault error?

Can you please try to start this one in the foreground with debug log file and post that here?
Code:
lxc-start -n 103 -F -l DEBUG -o /tmp/ct-103.log

CT config itself could also be nice to have.

@wbumiller any idea?

hi,

I'm attach logs too. Maybe any body know how fix this error?

unable to detect OS distribution can mean the following things:

- the container doesn't have the file(s) for us to detect the distribution (deleted/missing file)
- container rootfs may be corrupted
- your volume for the container is not mounted
 
Try this:

in /lib/systemd/system/zfs-mount.service

change ExecStart=/sbin/zfs mount -a
to ExecStart=/sbin/zfs mount -O -a

then restart proxmox.
Thanks, but the CT was new created, the old one is deleted.
 
I have similar problem. Supermicro H11SSL + Amd epyc 7551, zfs raidz. Using KVM and LXC. When I power off and power on server, lxc containers can't boot because filesystem is not mounted (zfs). But when I reboot, filesystems are mounted correctly and all is fine. I'm not sure when exactly this problem started (production server), but it's quite strange and annoying.

=>
change ExecStart=/sbin/zfs mount -a
to ExecStart=/sbin/zfs mount -O -a


I didn't try this, I think it can be dangerous.
