Repro Steps

I want to set up the company nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf.

step 1:

Ref doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config add /etc/wsl.conf and config:

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

step 2:

Close WSL terminal and run wsl --shutdown to restart the WSL instance. Open a new WSL terminal.

step 3:

ls /etc confirm folder, no /etc/resolv.conf file. sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf set up company nameserver.

step 4:

re-step 2, if WSL instance restart, /etc/resolv.conf always is deleted. We must set up a new /etc/resolv.conf for every restart WSL instance.

Expected Behavior

[network]
generateResolvConf = false

My understanding is to turn off the auto-generating function, But he seems to have deleted the ResolvConf function. I need persistence to be set in the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Actual Behavior

Every restart WSL instance, always deleted /etc/resolv.conf.

Same issue here, I temporarily fixed the issue by using chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf.
