Unlocking the LXC container with the pct tool

Proxmox VE provides the pct tool to manage Linux containers (LXC). To manually have the lock removed, simply issue the command pct unlock 107. This removes the lock on container 107. Deleting the failed snapshot can be performed by issuing the command pct delsnapshot 107 vzdump.
