[SOLVED] pve-guests service failed to start

[itret]

Anyone know what to do to fix this issue?
This gives me a critical error on my monitoring site.
Why is is unable to lock the file .active.lock?

systemctl status pve-guests

Only you can mark is as solved by editing your first post in this thread. Almost everybody here does not have permissions to do that for you.
I have no idea why it did not work before the reboot. Glad you got it solved.
