I have been able to reproduce reliabily (but not always the same file. increasing logging changes the offending file, which suggests a race) with just a find in a crowded directory; client# cd /root && umount /gfs && mount /gfs && cd \ /gfs/usr/src/gnu/dist/binutils && find bfd 2>&1 |less bfd bfd/MAINTAINERS bfd/bfdwin.c bfd/ChangeLog-0203 find: bfd/aoutx.h: Stale NFS file handle bfd/bfdio.c bfd/ChangeLog-9495 bfd/aix386-core.c bfd/aout-adobe.c find: bfd/bfd.m4: Stale NFS file handle However the command below works, which suggests the problem is really with READDIR: #client cd /root && umount /gfs && mount /gfs && cd \ /gfs/usr/src/gnu/dist/binutils && find bfd/aoutx.h 2>&1 |less bfd/aoutx.h -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx
