Subject:   Problems NFS mounting Linux file systems on FreeBSD

A friend of mine just called in with a problem which I can't solve: he
has a network of BSD systems (FreeBSD, BSD/OS), and he's trying to NFS
mount a file system from a Linux machine.  The mount appears to
succeed (i.e. there are no error messages from mount), but when he
tries to access the file system, he gets the message 'stale NFS
handle'.

The behaviour is the same whether he tries to mount the file system on
a BSD/OS box or a FreeBSD box.  In the other direction (NFS mounting a
BSD file system on the Linux box), everything works fine.  The Linux
kernel revision is 1.3.20, and he doesn't know any further details on
the Linux side.  On the BSD side, FWIW, he's running FreeBSD 2.1.5 and
BSD/OS 2.1.
