If I reboot proxmox, all nodes come up really fast as it should.

But one Node need 10 Minutes before it begin to boot.

I start the VM 105 and open the VNC-Viewer on it. Screen keeps Black for 10 Minutes. After 10 Minutes I see the Boot-Process starting in VNC.

Why are there such a delay?

Proxmox: 3.4-15
Node 105: Openvz
Node OS: Debian Linux
 
I do a restart (of whole Master) via GUI.
There are no nfs-mounts on this node (105).
But anyway, the VNC-Screen keeps black for node 105 till 10 Minutes are reached. Only after this time, the boot-process start... so even if there would be a nfs-mount on node 105, the lag apper before this.

you know what I mean... it's hard to explain :)
 
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 112.12.23.345
Setting CPU units: 400000

Container start in progress...​

Starts up in 30 - 50 Seconds
 
What is happening on the command line at that time? Please run ps auxf after the start and run it e.g. every 5 seconds and post all tree entried below your VMID in question. This should look like this:

Most of the time it is some strange service taking ages due to some DNS or other network problems.
