TASK ERROR: command 'systemctl start pve-container@198' failed: exit code 1

[omzen]

I am using Proxmox CT, since last night one of the vm CT was stopped, so the server was not running, while the other vm in one proxmox server was in normal life.

several times it was tried to start and the condition still stopped with the message on the server status as follows:

Spoiler: pct start 198

root@proxmox:~# pct start 198
Job for pve-container@198.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status pve-container@198.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

hi,

here is the relevant error:

lxc-start 198 20210318233043.884 INFO conf - conf.c:run_script_argv:372 - Executing script "/usr/share/lxc/hooks/lxc-pve-prestart-hook" for container "198", config section "lxc"

after you run pct mount 198 could you also run: find /var/lib/lxc/198/rootfs -maxdepth 3 and post the output here?


also your version proxmox-ve: 6.1-2 (running kernel: 5.3.10-1-pve) is a bit old so i would recommend you to upgrade to the latest packages to get the new features and security fixes.
