Cannot start Antlet
Quote from tcoursen3 on May 29, 2020, 5:39 pmI 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.

Quote from Marc Baum on May 30, 2020, 1:47 amHey @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

Quote from tcoursen3 on June 3, 2020, 4:20 pmSo, 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.

Quote from lancem on June 4, 2020, 6:15 amI 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).

Quote from tcoursen3 on June 4, 2020, 6:16 pmGetting 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.

Quote from lancem on August 16, 2020, 12:03 pmThis 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

Quote from yawnxyz on June 20, 2021, 4:59 amHi 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...

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:
