restore CT and KVM failed on PVE2.2

[sbonneau]

Hello,
I was working with proxmox 1.8 until now and backup/restore was well working with openVZ and KVM.

I installed a PVE 2.2 on a new harddisk and tried to restore all my VMs and it failed.

More details: on my PVE 1.8, Var/lib/vz was pointed through a simlink on /mnt/VM-PROD which is a raid 5 partition in ext2

Now, as i could not create this simlink in PVE2.2, i create another storage pointing directly to /mnt/VM-PROD.

I don't understand , i can not neither create a CT in this storage (named VM-PROD) neither restore all my VM in it .

It fails with message like

TASK ERROR: can't lock container 100

Is there an issue for this migration ?

regards,
stephane

Do you have a lock file hanging around somewhere?

Hello,

This is a false pb, just that i have deleted /var/lib/vz content for trying to link it symbolikly. As it failed, it has although deleted the lock, root directories of /var/lib/vz. I just created them manually and PVE 2.2 was able to create a lock file in lock directory.

I've searche for 2 hours that why i posted this thread...

Now, i was able to restore my CT and i'm triing with my KVM and it seems to work for now but not finished..

thanks,
Stephane

Why do you blame PVE for your own mistakes?
If you redirect /var/lib/vz somewhere else with a symlink you are responsible for creating the expected infrastructure.
