[lug] Stale NFS File Handle

[Dan Ferris]

Here's a good one for all the other Linux experts....

I just moved a bunch of data on my NFS server over to LVM2.  So we have 
about 2 TB of data that lives in LVM and it's being served out via NFS.

So, the problem now is that some users are getting a "Stale NFS file 
handle error" when using their data.  Their directories are mounted via 
the automounter.  The problem seems to show up after a few minutes of 
the directory being mounted via the automounter.

This problem seems random and intermittent (the best kind).

The NFS server is Fedora Core 4, although I'm running on an older 
version of the kernel (2.6.9).

If anyone knows how to make that error message go away, I'd appreciate 
knowing.
