I receive "Stale file handle" errors (see below) when listing the directory /etc/resolvconf
ls: cannot access 'resolv.conf.d': Stale file handle
ls: cannot access 'update-libc.d': Stale file handle
ls: cannot access 'update.d': Stale file handle
ls: cannot access 'interface-order': Stale file handle
interface-order resolv.conf.d update.d update-libc.d
Also the broken link /etc/resolv.conf
points to a missing target at /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
Indeed the directory /run/resolvconf/
only holds an empty file enable-updates
plus the directory interface
, which in turn only holds a file called NetworkManager
containing just the following lines
search config
nameserver 127.0.1.1
I can access my wireless network but not the internet. I receive "unknown host" errors from ping commands.
Upon discovering problems with resolvconf, I followed this NetworkManager advice from 2012 and ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf
which generated Stale file handle
errors.
My Btrfs filesystem root /dev/nvme0n1p1n
resides on a Samsung M.2 NVMe 128GB SSD.
Any advice on safe and easy methods to fix a "Stale file handle" will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
