Re: 2.1 create cluster error - unable to create directory'/etc/pve/priv' - file exist

Got the same error on v2.2. Maybe I should have upgraded before joining the server to cluster.

And then apache restart sayz..

root@czc75320yq:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restartSyntax error on line 13 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve-redirect.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem' does not exist or is empty
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
failed!

Oddly enough the server can been controlled from the clusters web-panel (on different host).
Edit: After reboot connection to port 8006 is refused. (Because it's not up.)

Tried this...

root@czc75320yq:/etc/pve/priv# dpkg-reconfigure pve-cluster Restarting pve cluster filesystem: pve-clusterfuse: failed to access mountpoint /etc/pve: Transport endpoint is not connected
[main] crit: fuse_mount error: Transport endpoint is not connected

(warning).

And the plot thickens. The whole pve folder disappeared somewhere. I'm starting to suspect RAID problem.

root@czc75320yq:~# cd /etc/pve-bash: cd: /etc/pve: Transport endpoint is not connected

root@czc75320yq:~# ls -ahl

Try to remount the file system with:

# service pve-cluster restart

Only thing that solved this was rejoining the cluster again with --force option. I'm thinking some how the first join got interrupted and first sync did not complete.
pvecm add IP-ADDRESS-HERE --force
<<== Magical command. Highly recommended :)
