Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a vm on my proxmox 4.0.
I have a backup job who run last night but the job didn't finish.
This morning i see that the vm is locked and i can't reset or stop the machine.

To resolve temporarily my problem I had to create an other vm and put the disk of my primary vm on the new vm.

Have you ever encountered this problem?
Do you have a solution for this problem please ? :)

Thanks u a lot
 
Proxmox 4.0 is outdated, you should upgrade your setup to avoid issues like this.

Nevertheless, a temporary fix would be to run qm unlock <vmid> on the commandline to manually remove the backup lock (only do this if you're actually sure there is no backup job running!).
