Hello. I have upgraded one of my proxmox hosts from 6 to 7.
One of the old VMs no longer boots up completely due to cgroup changes.
Although I can use 'pct enter' to log into the VM, only 3 processes are running and the host warns that it won't start up completely due to the cgroup issue

What I need to do is restore a website and database files from the VM onto a newer one, however networking is not working on the VM.

Where are the VM's files stored in the host?
If I can get to the filesystem, I can rsync over the files I need.
I tried looking in /var/lib/lxc/109 (the VM ID), but rootfs is empty.
I can still see the files through pct enter.
 
You are mixing up VMs and CTs. Try pct mount CTIDHERE to mount the CT's file system on the node.
