>If server reboots, I end up with the following >message on client: > >mount: /usx: Stale NFS file handle The ESTALE error is returned by the server whenever the mountpoint filehandle is no longer valid. This can happen for a number of reason: 1) The filesystem mount hierarchy changed on the server. 2) The filesystem was dismounted and re-mounted again on the server. 3) The filesystem type wasn't the same as was originally mounted. 4) Perhaps other reasons I've forgotten. >How does one get the NFS subsystem to recover correctly >when the server reboots? I think the only remedy may be to do a forced dismount (umount -f). If this doesn't work then that's a bug and should be fixed. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
