"Stale NFS file handle" message is displayed on any of the file : commands. If I mount localhost or mount FreeBSD from Linux, everything is : ok. Any ideas? I once had this same problem when mounting a Linux partition from a NetBSD box. I *think* (I can't be sure - it was a while ago) that the /etc/exports file on the Linux box was slightly wrong (the machine name was wrong?), edit this and retry. You'll need to kill and rerun the mount and NFS daemons as they don't respond to a kill -HUP under Linux. I hope this helps. -- Dickon Hood. Due to Windoze '95, my .sig is out of order.
