A ``stale NFS file handle'' is the server's reaction for using a NFS file handle that is no longer valid (but since the client once obtained the handle from the server, it must have been valid in the past). This response is supposed to happen e.g. if the file disappeared on the server while a client was holding a handle for it. Since NFS is stateless, a NFS server never knows which clients might still hold references to all of his objects. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
