Post by jeniffer »

I am getting the error "Container already locked" when I tried to start the VPS.

[root@server ~]# vzctl start 101
Container already locked

First delete the lock file :

[root@server ~]# rm /vz/lock/101.lck
rm: remove regular file `/vz/lock/101.lck’? y

Then kill the checkpoint using the below command :

[root@server ~]# vzctl chkpnt 101 --kill
