I upgraded to Debian 8 on the physical linux machine which proxmox VE is installed on.
Help!
There is no backup of the one large important openvz container running on this proxmox 3.4 physical machine, it contains 100GB or more of media, which would be impossible to recreate if lost.
The containers seem to be able to start and run OK (vzctl start 122), when you stop the container (vzctl stop 122) it gives errors, but it stops (vzlist shows no containers running).
How to fix this catch-22 situation in-place (upgrade OS packages), without damaging the container, without requiring dumping 100GB+ off the vz container, and loading it back on again!?
This must be relatively common issue, so is there possibly a script available to fix this ?!

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
