When I list files under my $HOME, I found following two files that can not be accessed:
ls: cannot access .xsession-errors: Stale NFS file handle ls: cannot access .Xauthority: Stale NFS file handle total 2384 -????????? ? ? ? ? ? .xsession-errors -????????? ? ? ? ? ? .Xauthority It looks like a remote access from NFS system from error message. But it is my $HOME, which is a ext2 system. This is the entry in my /etc/fstab /dev/sda8 /home ext2 defaults 0 2 This error is probably causing another problem of accessing my $HOME files from GTK-based application. When I "open -> file" from a gtk-based application to open a file under $HOME, I can not see any files of $HOME from the "open..file" dialog. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks very much. Michael.
