I am attempting to convert some containers that were privileged, to unprivileged containers after getting rid of the NFS mounts that they needed inside of the containers. After backing up and attempting to restore I get this error:

Code:
Error: error extracting archive - encountered unexpected error during extraction: error at entry "random": failed to extract device: failed to create device node: Operation not permitted (os error 1)

-dirs --repository pbsbackup@pbs@10.0.73.60:backup' failed: exit code 255

Any ideas on how to make it work?
 
use "pct restore ... --ignore-unpack-errors"
