Do things change under load? The problem I had didn't show up unless
there was some load. But once there was load the stale handle error
consistently occurred -- rsyncing a dir tree with 110,000+ files would
always trigger the problem. I use  xfs with lvm2. I didn't change file
systems to fix the problem.
