Hi.
I've been traversing this forum for hours trying to fix my broken server.
Here's the story
  • After a restart the CT containers couldn't start - only VM starts
  • I installed all updates, and restarted - same problem.
  • I tried to restore a backup of one of the containers, which led to it being deleted - now if I re-run the backup, I get the message
    Bash: 
    recovering backed-up configuration from 'vzdump-lxc...'
TASK ERROR: unable to restore CT 104 - no such logical volume pve/5.58793544769287e-09
I have tried to get the log for starting the container, which says:

Bash:

It's the same with all the containers.

Is anybody capable of seeing how to get on from here?

Thanks!
 
Got it fixed. It is the update: Open a shell to your Proxmox host and type:
Bash: 
sudo apt install binutils
. After that you can start your containers as usual.

Is this the same problem as you have https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/c...s-after-upgrading-and-disabling-iommu.118227/ ? I will try to update my backup machine. If it also fails after a restart it is the update that causes these problems.

I have no words - you are amazing! I've spent around 6 hours now - and lost all hope.
All containers started as you said.
Thank you extremely much!

While I have you on the line - I still have a problem with the container I tried to restore, that got deleted. I can't restore it.
The error is the same:

Bash: 
recovering backed-up configuration from 'vzdump-lxc...'
TASK ERROR: unable to restore CT 104 - no such logical volume pve/5.58793544769287e-09

You're welcome. How do you restore your CT? From PBS? Does your storage exist?

I believe it's because it's a snapshot. If I restore another container that is not a snapshot it runs through. I guess it's just my bad...
Anyway - I am thrilled that all is working now.
Thanks again!
