All the files in the /etc/pve directory are gone on my server, that happened after I was changing one of the devices in my btrfs file system, I have genuinely no idea how those files were lost and even after I attempted to restore them from a backup they are still gone. Is there any way to recover from here, I’m not sure what is the best thing to do next
 
The will reappear when the PVE services are running again (since they are actually in a database and not normal files). Find out what is preventing the PVE services from running normally by looking in the system log etc.
