I see the following error in my SELinux enabled CentOS or RHEL server:
Jun 21 13:58:43 server3 restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory
Jun 21 16:14:51 server3 restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory
Jun 22 13:32:23 server3 restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory
How do I fix this problem?
You or one of your script may have made additional hard link to your /etc/resolv.conf file. Under CentOS / RHEL / Fedora, file /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf hard linked with /etc/resolv.conf. To find all hard links, enter:
find / -xdev -samefile /etc/resolv.conf
Sample outputs:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf
To fix this problem type the following commands:
# rm /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf
# restorecon /etc/resolv.conf
# ln /etc/resolv.conf /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf
