I was previously under the impression that a NFS FH was basically a
concatenation of a device # and an inode #. This was shot down earlier today.
The problem was that a disk had failed and we where doing a replacement (the
new disk was not identical to the old, it was substantially larger). I
proceeded to format it so that the old fstab entry would work with the new
drive (that is the NFS exported partition would be called /dev/wd1s1h --
same device number, no?) I then used dump/restore to ensure that the
inode numbers would remain the same. Making to further changes I shut down
the machine, swapped in the new drive and brought the system back up. The
new drive was mounted faithfully by the old fstab. Yet I now see
"Stale NFS Handle"s on my clients. What did I do wrong?
