Hi,

In one PVE 3.4 node the pve folder is not mounted. We can't able to access the web gui. Tried to start the Pve-cluster service but it is failed.

How to mount the /etc/pve folder and how to get the GUI access. We can able to SSH to the node.

First off, PVE 3.4 is long EoL.

You may be able to start the pmxcfs locally with 'pmxcfs -l', but no guarantee that it works, as there might something else broken too (eg. disk?)
 
I had a similar problem PVE 7, but it was probably my own fault.

I was upgrading from 7.1 to 7.2 and forgot to do it in screen or tmux. Ssh connection was interrupted and at some point /etc/pve was empty. A duplicate file in config.db prevented mounting /etc/pve . I had two rows named lrm_status in table called tree. After renaming older of them, everything seems to work fine.
