Cannot start Antlet

Page 1 of 2Next

I am trying to start an antlet and when I do I get the following error :

internal error: guest failed to start: Failure in libvirt_lxc startup: cannot find init path '/sbin/init' relative to container root: No such file or directory

 

This is on a raspberry pi.  I have a external drive connected via the usb that has a zpool on it, which has this antlet on it.  I am waiting for my official nano to arrive next week.  I've mostly had good results with my setup on a pi 4 4GB that I had laying around.  This is the first issue i've had where i could not figure it out on my own.

Hey @tcoursen3!

It sounds to me like the zfs filesystem of your antlet might not be properly mounted... Could you please check `zpool status` and `zfs list`?

I'm guessing the zpool has been properly imported and is mounted?

Cheers,

Marc

 

So, initially, I just deleted the antlet that was giving me trouble and recreated it from scratch.  it was only running plex, so no big deal to recreate.  It was working fine for a few days, and just now crapped out with the same error.  However, now NONE of my antlets will start on this device.   I did receive my official nano today, and I did plug that in and register that, so I now do have two pi's running antsle, in case that matters.

I have an external usb zpool also, and I've found that if I have an antlet that "lives" on a zpool other than "antlets", I have to at least create a 1 GB virtual drive on the antlets zpool to get it to work.

Although this is with edgeLinux 0.12.1 (non-nano).

Getting very frustrated.  Killed the antlet and started over yet again.   This time once I had the new antlet set up the way I wanted, I created a snapshot.

So once again, it crapped out on me with the same error.   I tried to rollback the snapshot, and that did not work either.  Is taking a snapshot worthless?  Seems so.

I really have concerns about putting any real data on this setup.

This same thing happened to me today after a long power outage (the UPS batteries ran out and my antlse shut off).

After it came back up, my antlets wouldn't load (getting the missing file error in this thread).

I had to fix it by:

unmount all zfs filesystems:

zfs unmount -a

Check that antlets is empty:

ls -l /antlets

If it is not empty, rename antlets and re-create directory:

mv /antlets /antlets-bad

mkdir /antlets

re-mount zfs filesystems:

zfs mount -a

 

Hi all,

I've been enjoying my Nano since I got one last year! But I'm now getting the same error whenever I'm restarting, power cycling the nano... "

internal error: guest failed to start: Failure in libvirt_lxc startup: cannot find init path '/sbin/init' relative to container root: No such file or directory"

I go and check the /antlets/ folder and *some* of the antlets' contents just go missing. Meaning, the folders only contain "dev, proc, sys" folders, and nothing else — other (still healthy) antlets have a bunch of other folders. No wonder I can't start the antlet!

Antlets that go down like this include both running and stopped Antlets. Basically, I have to delete and re-setup the Antlet from scratch every time because ZFS or the nano just decides to *delete all the contents randomly*

Does this mean my SD card or the nano is damaged? Is this a feature? I can't really tell...

 

Hi yawnxyz:

Yes, it's possible that the SD Card is damaged which can cause errors in zpools.

You can check the status of your zpool by typing this command:

zpool status

You can also downloading the edgeLinux 2.0 ISO for aarch64 here:

Then you can burn image by following instructions here:

why can't I download edgeLinux 2.0 ISO?
