Hi,

I found it.
My /etc/vz/vznet.conf contained this:

#!/bin/bash
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT="/usr/bin/vznetaddbr"

The /etc/bin/vznetaddbr contains this part:
.......
 echo "Adding interface $host_ifname to bridge $bridge on CT0 for CT
$VEID"
    ip addr add 0 dev "$host_ifname"
...........

The correct vznetaddbr located under /usr/sbin and this file is much
more different than the other.

So, when the vzctl starts the container, unfortunately the wrong
vznetaddr invoked which cannot start the network in the right way.

So, after I correct the config file like this:
EXTERNAL_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/vznetaddbr"
everything works well.

So, I checked the dates of the files and I found that, the not-working
version under /usr/bin is newer (19th of Nov.) than the other, but the
older (28th of Oct.) is working.

I checked the pve_manager packages and I found that, the vznetaddbr
changed in the last package pve-manager_1.0-9_all.deb.

I installed my system in the beginning of November and I updated it
several times, using apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
-> pve-manager_1.0-6_all.deb -> pve-manager_1.0-7_all.deb ->
pve-manager_1.0-8_all.deb -> pve-manager_1.0-9_all.deb

I hope, this investigation helps you to improve PVE.

Cheers,
István
