Can you show (in the container):

  • grep lxcfs /proc/self/mountinfo
  • cat /proc/cpuinfo
  • ls -lh /var/lib/lxcfs

Juste tested on a new container !!

OK juste tested on another server and it work ! will reboot the server now and tell you if it work

Sounds like this was a server where lxcfs broke and got unmounted, except for that last mount on /var/lib/lxcfs which is now causing issues.
