I have recently come across a problem with vzdump in which whenever i tried to backup one of out VMs using --snapshot, the following error would apear:
~# vzdump --size 1000 --dumpdir /backup/ --snapshot 104
INFO: Starting new backup job - vzdump --size 1000 --dumpdir /backup/ --snapshot 104
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 104 (openvz)
INFO: status = CTID 104 exist mounted running
ERROR: wrong lvm mount point '/var/lib/vz', using 'suspend' mode
INFO: starting first sync /vz/private/104 to /var/tmp/vzdumptmp4093
I am using Ubuntu 8.04.2 and by default OpenVZ uses /var/lib/vz which is symlinked to /vz for storing files and VMs.
The reason, in this case, for the error was that in /etc/vz/conf/104.conf, VE_ROOT and VE_PRIVATE were set to:
VE_ROOT="/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/vz/private/$VEID"
but the mount point for the LVM partition in /etc/fstab was:
/var/lib/vz
To fix this problem, i had to edit the to variables in 104.conf to look like this:
VE_ROOT="/var/lib/vz/root/$VEID"
VE_PRIVATE="/var/lib/vz/private/$VEID"
Hope this helps someone.
Regards,
Gabriel
