We've suddently begun to have problems with NFS on linux-2.3.9-ac7. I know, I know, we shouldn't have upgraded, but we wanted to move to Reiserfs for our server box. Now the thing is giving us fits with random errors like the following: cvs import: WARNING: cannot change mode of file blah-blah,v: Stale NFS file handle This appears to be happening randomly on all mount points and on multiple clients of various kernel flavours from 2.2.14 to 2.4.8-ac5 and above. No problems until we switched to ReiserFS although I'm hard pressed to see how that could have done it since I run Reiser at home over nfs without any problems whatsoever. Unmounting and remounting the nfs directories on the client boxes and starting over again does not fix it, either. -- Jeff Sutherland, Accelent Systems, Inc. <http://www.accelent.com> - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - Whenever I return from a trip abroad, I'm always amazed by two things: All the wide open space we have in this country, and how bad the roads are. - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
