"start failed - can't aquire lock '/var/run/pveproxy/pveproxy.pid.lock' - Resource temporarily unava

[Vasu Sreekumar]

I am facing this issue in multiple nodes.

Node shows grey in cluster, but ssh works and *the proxy service it is not active*

When I start proxy i get the message

"start failed - can't aquire lock '/var/run/pveproxy/pveproxy.pid.lock' - Resource temporarily unavailable"

Only solution is to restart node.

Node details: pve-manager/5.1-52/ba597a64 (running kernel: 4.15.15-1-pve)

Any suggestions to fix this issue?

Left over lock? Can you just try to remove it once 'rm /var/run/pveproxy/pveproxy.pid.lock' and the do

systemctl start pveproxy

Is this problem recurring again even after a restart?
