Client says "Stale NFS file handle" but server does not return NFS3ERR_STALE

Hi,

I have the following issue:
Client does a classical "mount -o vers=3,lock server:/path /mnt". The server is my nfs-ganesha user space server. Then, a long time running "dd if=/dev/zero of=./foo..." is made inside a directory in the mount point. No matter what the other parameters of dd (like bs= or count=) are : I kill the daemon, and restart it a couple of seconds later. Then I kill the dd (CTRL-C from the console). The dd command returns an error (which is logical, it' sis IO error or Bad File Descriptor), but I see something else that is quite strange: - if I ls from the current directory (where I ran 'dd'), I got the message "ls: cannot open directory .: Stale NFS file handle"
   - In wireshark, I see no NFS3ERR_STALE
The wireshark capture shows that the "server shutdown" was made between a WRITE reply and the related COMMIT call (I received the COMMIT call as the server rebooted). Apparently, the client decided to return "Stale NFS file handle" to the client, the server returns no error, all replies are NFS3_OK. What should I be looking for to fix this bug ? (which is probably on my side)

   Regards
Philippe
