Thanks for reply, Steve! parameters are pretty trivial, (rw,insecure) for exports, and defaults while mounting via ``mount host:/path /path'' command. Yes. That sounds interesting, since XFS works fine with there partitions. Also, I must say it's WD20EARS drives (with 4kb sector size, though parted says it's 512b). I also tried another NFS daemon implementation (cvs version, not .22) -- unfsd (unfs3). It mounts ok, but when I try to write any file to the server -- I get the same error (Stale NFS file handle). And on the server side in dmesg I see this: -- NFS: server 172.17.2.2 error: fileid changed fsid 0:f: expected fileid 0x2033, got 0xb6d1e05fa150ce09 NFS: server 172.17.2.2 error: fileid changed fsid 0:f: expected fileid 0x2033, got 0x26550b0132c0b1 NFS: server 172.17.2.2 error: fileid changed fsid 0:f: expected fileid 0x2033, got 0x8202a60053000020 NFS: server 172.17.2.2 error: fileid changed fsid 0:f: expected fileid 0x2033, got 0xe542f93ebc8fe157 NFS: server 172.17.2.2 error: fileid changed fsid 0:f: expected fileid 0x2033, got 0xc00cd74ea904301 -- looks like NFS protocol doesn't like something in partitioned software RAID.
