Hi,
I've started noticing that one of our openvz servers is doing something strange to the containers on that box, about 90% of them are now unable to do a df to show disk space, it returns nothing. I tried upgrading to the latest kernel version and still have this problem. The files are all there and everything seems to run fine apart from been able to see disk space used.
[root@va-box /]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
[root@va-box /]# mount
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
[root@va-box /]#
Has anyone seen this before?
Regards,
Marc

Hi Kir,
Here's the output you requested:

Hi Scott,
You are correct, /etc/mtab was not a symlink. I deleted it and created
a symlink but when I restart the container it's back to a normal file
again:
[root@va-webdav /]# rm -rf /etc/mtab
[root@va-webdav /]# ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
[root@va-webdav /]# ls -l /etc/mtab
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 27 12:37 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
[root@va-webdav /]# init 6
[root@va-webdav /]# got signal 15
exited from CT 233
[root@lnxsvr2 ~]# vzenter 233
entered into CT 233
[root@va-webdav /]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[root@va-webdav /]# ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 Jun 27 12:38 /etc/mtab
Thanks,
Marc

Anatoly,
I'm using one of the precreated centos 5 templates from about a year
ago, not 100% sure which one. Is there a easy way to tell?
The only bit I can see is this from /etc/init.d/network
rootopts=$(awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^[ \t]*#/ && $2 == "/") { print $4; }}' /etc/mtab)
Not sure if that writes to mtab or not?
