Does '-e' in perl only do a lookup, or does it result in a 'stat()'
call? If the latter, then your test is flawed: a stat() is a lookup+a
getattr, and the latter can definitely return ESTALE when you are
constantly replacing the file.

Hi Trond,
Has any behavior here changed between 2.6.19 and 2.6.32 that you know of?
Testing that perl one liner out with a variety of nfs setups we run:
2.6.11 client vs 2.6.32 server - no error
2.6.11 client vs netapp - no error
2.6.19 client vs 2.6.19 server - no error
2.6.19 client vs netapp - no error
2.6.32 client vs 2.6.32 server - stale file handles
2.6.32 client vs netapp - stale file handles
So it seems to be a client specific change sometime between 2.6.19 and
2.6.32....
