[SOLVED] Unable to start LXC container after moving storage

[Virt]

I have an LXC container (Ubuntu 16.04) that refuses to start after moving it using the GUI.

Log from lxc-start:

I have other containers on the same datastore that have no issues. For whatever reason, it's only this one container.

what is the content of the file /etc/lsb-release of the container? (you can temporarily mount the fs of the ct with 'pct mount' and then unmount with pct unmount)

Looks like it's binary, cat produces gibberish. Perhaps I need to replace it with a copy from the other image?

I was able to get it up and running by manually recreating the container using the previous image.
The previous transfer had corrupted the image and I was able to move it the second try.
