Sprite does not start and will not restore

Questions / Help

I have a Sprite film that fails to start up properly and which I cannot restore.

Timeline (UTC):

  • 2026-09-30T01:24:40 auto checkpoint auto-1790731480172 (“auto:shutdown”). Every wake since has failed:
    • sprite exec --http-post: 503 “Process not ready after 30.001s (max wait: 30s). Process running: false”
    • sprite console: read tcp … :443: i/o timeout
    • sprite checkpoint create: 503 “No process is running to checkpoint”
  • ~15:50 sprite restore auto-1790731480172 failed:
    “failed to start overlay service tree: failed to start container: process exited before initialization”

Other sprites in my org are fine. I’d appreciate it very much if this could be recovered or fixed. Thank you!

It looks like there was some file system corruption that forced your sprite to go read-only, and then checkpoint auto-1790731480172 committed that corruption. The best course of action here is probably to restore to your v20 checkpoint, which looks to be clean and was only about 15min before that corruption. If that’s acceptable to you, can you try sprite checkpoint restore v20?

That seems to have worked. Thank you very much!
