Running LXC from Proxmox on SMB (alien.top)

Hi,

I have a Proxmox Server ("A") and another server (let's call it "B") running SMB as a Server on SSDs. Both servers have 10G NICs.

I want to install a LXC on A which uses the SMB-share of B as install device.

I face several problems:

- Adding SMB via GUI does not work (error 500).

- Adding via "pvesm add cifs" did work.

- I can install the LXC on the smb share, but I cannot start it "

run_buffer: 322 Script exited with status 5
lxc_init: 844 Failed to run lxc.hook.pre-start for container "407"
__lxc_start: 2027 Failed to initialize container "407"
TASK ERROR: startup for container '407' failed"

Any ideas how to get it running?

I have LXC container with boot disk on NFS mount. Fine so far. If you won’t manage to fix this error you may try to use NFS instead.
