Loading config file for the container failed

LXD
1

Hi,
i installed tree lxd-Container and everything works fine. As i wanted to restart one container, i got the error:

Fehler: Error calling 'lxd forkstart test2 /var/lib/lxd/containers /var/log/lxd/test2/lxc.conf': err='Failed to run: /usr/bin/lxd forkstart test2 /var/lib/lxd/containers /var/log/lxd/test2/lxc.conf: error: Error opening startup config file: "loading config file for the container failed"'
Versuchen Sie `lxc info --show-log test2` um mehr Informationen zu erhalten

Also a new created container (test 2) didn’t start, same error.
What can i do?
Thanks
Jan

What’s in /var/log/lxd/test2/lxc.conf and /var/log/lxd/test2/lxc.log?

Hi!

Generally, the message error: Error opening startup config file: “loading config file for the container failed” indicates that something is wrong with the configuration. For example, you may be running the deb LXD and the snap LXD at the same time? Or, the upgrade from deb to snap did not complete properly?

The message adds Versuchen Sie lxc info --show-log test2 um mehr Informationen zu erhalten, therefore you can give the output of that as well.

I noticed that the container has an IP address of the range 192.168.x.y while the host has a 10.x.y.z IP address. Often it is the other way round. Can you describe your LXD setup, adding info on how it would differ from a stock LXD installation?

This is test2/lxc.config:

lxc.network.0.name = eth0
lxc.mount.entry = /var/lib/lxd/shmounts/test2 dev/.lxd-mounts none bind,create=dir 0 0

The lxc.log file is empty.

The version is:
root@hphost03:~# lxc --version
2.0.11
root@hphost03:~# lxd --version
2.0.11
root@hphost03:~# which lxd lxc
/usr/bin/lxd
/usr/bin/lxc

@brauner any idea?

6

The mount entries look unclean. They should all have a 0 0 at the end. Depending on the libc version the mountent parser will otherwise fail.

Thank You for reply. What can I do for cleaning the entries?
