You are losing connection to the NFS server. Is the connection stable? Have you tried mounting hard,nointr? To clear the stale file handle warnings you can remove the nfs filesystem from the /etc/mtab and remount.

Hi All

We are running  NFS clients on Redhat and SUSE linux distros with the
following options.

NFSSERVER:/home/idpssupp/REPORTS /mnt/amosoutput nfs nfsvers=3,bg,intr 0
0

for some time quite happily, recently we have encountered the messages on
NFS clients

Apr  7 07:11:51 NFSCLIENT kernel: nfs: server NFSSERVER OK
Apr  7 07:11:51 NFSCLIENT kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 116
Apr  7 07:21:06 NFSCLIENT kernel: nfs_statfs: statfs error = 116

I have tried using...
NFSSERVER:/home/idpssupp/REPORTS    /mnt/amosoutput nfs
nfsvers=3,hard,intr,noac 0 0

and ran

mount -o remount /mnt/amosoutput

but still we get the following...

NFSCLIENT:~ # ls -l /mnt/amosoutput
/bin/ls: /mnt/amosoutput: Stale NFS file handle

The above problem appears intermittently and would disappear if i just
umount and mount the file systems manually.


A call is already raised with Redhat but still no response.

We have mix of NFS clients on RHEL ES 4, SLES 9 and NFS server is AIX 5.2
ML10. Any help is much appreciated.


Regards,
Yash
