Hello. This issue makes me so irritated and confused all the time.

There is this stupid thing that prevents me from shutting down and restarting VMs:
"trying to acquire lock...
TASK ERROR: can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-103.conf' - got timeout"

Also:
"TASK ERROR: VM quit/powerdown failed - got timeout"

So how tf do i kill a VM to completely force it to shutdown? i need to delete this VM to fix disk error on the node Disk, as couple of my VMS located on Disk 1 are down because of full Node Disk, while i have 2 other disks and those VMs works fine. But i can't release any disk space on disk 1 until i have got rid of 1 VM.

Is there any way arround the "lock" issue to force a kill process or anything of the VM? the reset action on proxmox VE works, but it doesn't shut a VM down? and even when the reset are complete, i still can't acquire lock.

I suppose it can't lock file because another process is using the file right? which i suppose must be the VM itself using it, so how tf do i force kill the VM process of a specific VM?
 
I fixed my issue. For those who wonder i used SSH to kill the VM process, found the process using following:
Bash:
ps aux | grep "/usr/bin/kvm -id VMID"

And killing the machine using:
Bash:
kill -9 PID

My issues are now solved.
