When trying to restart a VPS on a node with SolusVM OR Virtuzzo installed, you will receive an error as below.<\/p>\n
vzquota : (error) Quota on syscall for id 101: Device or resource busy
\nvzquota : (error) Possible reasons:
\nvzquota : (error) – Container’s root is already mounted
\nvzquota : (error) – there are opened files inside Container’s private area
\nvzquota : (error) – your current working directory is inside Container’s
\nvzquota : (error) private area
\nvzquota : (error) Currently used file(s):
\n\/vz\/private\/101\/home\/user\/public_html\/images\/videothumbs\/file.jpg<\/p><\/blockquote>\nRead the error message carefully and you will know that it is due to a file\/directory open OR being processed. This is the reason you are unable to restart the VPS.<\/p>\n
lsof 2>&1 | grep ‘\/vz\/private\/101’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The above command will show the pid (ProcessID) of the file. Here 101 is the CTID. Replace it with your actual CTID set for VPS. You have to kill it & restart the VPS. VPS will be restarted without any issues\/errors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
