(Amazon AWS) EBS mount error: Stale NFS file handle
- by May
I have an EC2 instance that just went offline (cannot even be pinged) but is still reflected as operational. In an effort to retrieve data stored on an attached EBS, I did a forced detach of the mounted volume, launched a new instance, and tried attaching the EBS volume.
However, I keep getting an error -
mount: Stale NFS file handle
whenever I do so. Did I just lose all my files?
