I have a Ubuntu container, I needed more space and went to resources and selected root disk then resize and entered more GBs and clicked resize disk. Ever since that point it wont start.

I get this in the task log on Start command:
run_buffer: 321 Script exited with status 255
lxc_init: 846 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "101"
__lxc_start: 2002 Failed to initialize container "101"
TASK ERROR: startup for container '101' failed

This is the output of the resize:
Image resized.

that is normal with containers.

which PVE version are you using? pveversion -v

could you also post the container configuration? pct config 101

also, what was the previous size and how many GBs did you add on top?
