[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-docs 2/2] pmxcfs: add more config files and discuss symlinks

Dylan Whyte d.whyte at proxmox.com
Mon Sep 13 18:00:36 CEST 2021


adds an entry for some config files found in /etc/pve, which were
missing.
alphabetize the list, for better readability and add some minor fixes
also adds an introduction section to the symbolic links section, to
clarify that they're specific to each host

 Symbolic links
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+Certain directories within the cluster file system use symbolic links, in order
+to point to a node's own configuration files. Thus, the files pointed to in the
+table below refer to different files on each node of the cluster.
