What template are you using and where did you get it from? I recently had a similar result from an Archlinux template, however I would need to know more about the container to be able to relate it to my case.
Can you vzctl enter it? -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@openvz.org [mailto:users-boun...@openvz.org] On Behalf Of Gregor at HostGIS Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 3:53 PM To: OpenVZ Maling List Subject: [Users] Cannot stop or restart container Hey guys. I reported a bug some months ago, not being able to stop and restart a container, getting a timeout instead. When I reported the bug months ago, I was unable to replicate it at the time. But here it is once again: I cannot stop or restart the VE. This clip shows the results which I see: # vzctl restart Customer Restarting container Stopping container ... Unable to stop container: operation timed out # vzlist Customer CTID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME 84 3 running - Customer The 3 processes, I don't know what they are but they may be related to this, and may be a clue: After the initial vzctl restart, it got down to 1 process before it timed out. I ran "vzctl exec Customer ps ax" and now I notice that the NPROC increments each time I do this. However from the HN, "ps ax | grep ps" only shows the one 'ps' which I am running, not the ones in the VE. Any thoughts on how I can finally stop this thing and restart it? Note that this is a production HN with production VEs, so rebooting it is not an attractive option.
