[PVE-User] lxc container can't start on a newly added cluster node

[Marco M. Gabriel]

Yes, all the mount points are the same on each node. As the container
doesn't start, an existing /dev/pts/x on any other node wouldn't make a
difference.

I also can create other virtual terminals (screen, tmux, ssh, etc.) and I
can see new /dev/pts/* devices being created, only lxc-start seems to have
a problem creating/mounting a console there.
