Hello all,

after a crash of a VM in the night, the proxmox host won't start in the cluster.

What i see is, that the /etc/pve isn't mounted.

Does anybody have an idea what i can do?
 
Hello again,

i found the following log-entries:

Code:
Jul 20 08:46:49 virtfarm-stpgp-3 pmxcfs[2147]: [database] crit: found entry with duplicate name (inode = 0000000015AA3F02, parent = 000000000000000B, name = '139.conf')

Jul 20 08:46:49 virtfarm-stpgp-3 pmxcfs[2147]: [main] notice: exit proxmox configuration filesystem (-1)

What can i do to start the pmxcfs again?
 
Hello,

after renaming the "/var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db" to "/var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db.old" the pve starts normal and all VMs are running fine.

Do someone have any idea how this can happen?

Regards

Hans-Peter Straub
