When attempting to read an excel (or any file) from a Unity Catalog volume (external or managed) the directory/file is not found. Additionally, when trying to use display() or any function like it to show results of a code chunk I am presented with
"Failed to store the result. Try rerunning the command. Failed to upload command result to DBFS. Error message: dbstoragekbbxxxxxxxxx.dfs.core.windows.net: Name or service not known"
I'm able to interact with the external and managed locations and their associated directories/files in the UC UI without issue, but the notebooks cannot access these locations. Curiously, though, the SQL editor can see the directories in managed volumes but not external.

Hi @randythedataguy The error message "Failed to upload command result to DBFS. Error message: dbstoragekbbxxxxxxxxx.dfs.core.windows.net: Name or service not known" suggests a potential DNS resolution issue. Ensure that the DNS settings are correctly configured and that the cluster has network access to the storage account.
