[SOLVED] How to recreate symlink

[kafisatz]

On two of my cluster nodes, I don't have a symlink for ssh_known_hosts (see screenshot).
How can I create such a symlink?
Do I need to delete the file in

/etc/ssh

or the one in

/ec/pve/priv/

before creating the symlink?

I think

ls -l

should eventually show

ssh_known_hosts -> /etc/pve/priv/known_hosts

Hi,
did you manually change something that got the symlink removed? To recreate the symlink, you can move the current file to a backup file mv /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts.bak and then recreate the symlink via cd /etc/ssh && ln -s /etc/pve/priv/known_hosts ssh_known_hosts.

This worked like a char thanks. And you were much faster than reddit (where I got no answer in 15h)
After your answer, my understanding is that the file in /etc/pve/priv is the 'true file' and the file in /etc/ssh is the 'link'.

To answer your quetsions.
I broke two of my nodes (out of 3) and had to reinstall both of them and add them back to the cluster (and recreate all of ceph).....
