I've noticed that if I backup a container that also mounts a shared point, the backup will not cleanly restore. I get the following error.
Code:
Task viewer: CT 120 - Restore
OutputStatus
Stop
TASK ERROR: unable to detect disk size - please specify mp0 (size)
[code]

The problem is that I the contain refers to a volume on the local host:
[code]
mp0: local-lvm:vm-108-disk-3,mp=/mnt/shared_files
[code]

When I remove that line from my config, the backup/restore works cleanly.
