unable to restore CT

[rcd]

vzdump-openvz.tar is an uncompressed vzdump from a running openvz server.
I am trying to restore it as a Proxmox LXC container but get an error:

# pct restore 100 vzdump-openvz.tar unable to restore CT 100 - unable to parse config line: QUOTAUGIDLIMIT=3000

This value is really not that important, how can I override this?

hi,

you can edit the config file in the tar archive manually

see here[0] for more general information regarding openvz to lxc conversion

Thanks but I already had a look at that page, many times actually.

"you can edit the config file in the tar archive manually" - yes, which config file?

not exactly sure since i don't have a openvz system to test on, but i'd guess vz.conf or some similar name.

untar the thing somewhere, do a find -name '*.conf' and you'll probably find it

Ok, now we're getting somewhere - I found a etc/vzdump/vps.conf with the QUOTAUGIDLIMIT line. Commented it out, packed the files back into the tar file, and retried the pct restore.
