This is typical when the directory you are in has been removed out from under
you. Try this:
Log into two shells (or use screen, or whatever), A and B. In A, do "cd ~;
mkdir -p xxx/yyy; cd xxx/yyy; touch 123; ls -l 123". Then, in B, do "cd ~; rm
-rf xxx". Finally, back in A, repeat what you did above, "ls -l 123; pwd;
/bin/pwd". You will find the behavior is the same.
Good luck,
robert
Then you have a stale NFS handle. That is not the same error message I'm getting:
[thba@scholekster yyy]$ ls -l 123
ls: 123: Stale NFS file handle
The directories have not changed at all, still the shell complains.
The process has to be able to read it's way back up the '..' parent
directories to find the path. Do you have a permissions or selinux
issue preventing that? Can the process where getcwd() fails do an
ls .; ls .. ; cd ..; all the way back to /?
