Dear all,

since the upgrade of our PVE environment from 6.x to 7.2-4 last week, our monitoring (CheckMK) registers, that the service "systemd-tmpfiles-setup" fails in all containers (not in the VMs, though). The containers have been created from the provided CentOS 7.9 templates and are fully updated. The containers have all been created under PVE 5.x and 6.x.

I'm not familiar with "systemd-tmpfiles-setup" and I could not relate similar failure reports found in the net to our situation.

The status that we get is:
--------------------------------------------------------------
[root@odcf-vm119 ~]# systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

--------------------------------------------------------------

journalctl tells me (manual extract from `journalctl -t systemd`):
--------------------------------------------------------------

and (`journalctl -t systemd-tmpfiles`):

--------------------------------------------------------------


Can anyone tell, what the problem could be or in which direction we should try to search for the problem?


I might also just migrate all containers to VMs, if that is a good or recommended solution to get rid of this problem. I currently don't see the benefit of containers over VMs anyway at this moment :-)

Cheers and thanks in advance
Frank
