I just tried to set up a new ubuntu 16.04 and an ubuntu 18.04 container on the new node - and both are running fine. but the old one still doesn't start.
After this, I wanted to trace a new and the old one and compare the logs of both, but it seems that neither the old one nor the new one start when I use "/usr/bin/lxc-start -n <vmid> -F -f /etc/pve/lxc/<vmid>.conf --logfile /tmp/lxc<vmid>.log --logpriority TRACE" The new and the old one do not start when I use that command to get a log. The logs are the same for both containers. If that command above does not work, then how to debug a container that does not want to start? Thanks, Marco Am Fr., 11.
