[SOLVED] vm completely stuck

[AxelTwin]

Hi everybody,

One of my VM is completely stuck. I tried to suspend it and here is the output:

root@proxmox-1:~# pct suspend 119
lxc-checkpoint: 119: criu.c: save_tty_major_minor: 1208 No such file or directory - stat of /proc/9453/root/dev/console failed
lxc-checkpoint: 119: criu.c: do_dump: 1325 dump failed with 1
lxc-checkpoint: 119: criu.c: do_dump: 1339 criu output:
lxc-checkpoint: 119: tools/lxc_checkpoint.c: checkpoint: 200 Checkpointing 119 failed
command 'lxc-checkpoint -n 119 -s -D /var/lib/vz/dump' failed: exit code 1

root@proxmox-1:~# pct status 119
status: running

And Can't reboot the whole proxmox as some other vm are running on it

hi,

first of all this is a container and not a VM

the suspend mechanism for containers does not work well at the moment.

that is because of the dependency on CRIU [0]

if you'd like to use suspend/hibernate mechanism for your guests, i suggest you switch to a KVM guest instead (which you can also live-migrate if necessary)

Thanks for your reply,

Correct, it's a container.
So no options except to reboot the whole proxmox....

Ouch !

you could try to kill the process as well, and then restart it

do a ps aux | grep CTID and then kill -9 PID

worked, thank you
