Subject: odd error: why: mount: /home2: mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2021 11:58:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <606F526A.1040405@tlinx.org> (raw)
Started to try overlay fs w/one fs, but decided on another, so
umounted the first -- hadn't done any changes.
Then tried a different lower dir (/home) and tried to mount into new
dir /home2. Got:
mount: /home2: mount(2) system call failed: Stale file handle
any idea why? I cleared out contents of workdir (two empty dirs)
but still didn't work again.
running a Vanilla-ish self-made kernel version 5.9.2...
don't know what other info I should provide...oh well...
