After reverting to 0.16, it seemed to be working well, but I recently ran into it a few times. It always happened when I went to delete a recording. Mythfrontend would just sort of hang. I'd switch to the text console and I'd see the Stale NFS file handle messages.
Here's the other part of what's going on. I have an X10 lola remote that works wonderfully, except the "joystick" part has been acting a little flakey lately. In particular, sometimes when I want to move it in one of the directions, it registers an "Enter" as if I'm pressing in on the button.
Anyway, what I'm thinking is happening is this...
When I go to delete a recording, there are *two* "Enter" presses registered in rapid succession. (Due to the flakey joystick). The first one goes and deletes the file from my NFS store, but mythtv goes to delete the file a second time. When it does so, the file that mythtv is going to delete has already been deleted, and thus the "Stale NFS file handle" messages. Mythtv doesn't gracefully recover from this, though, and spews the error messages until I restart mythbackend.
The messages are:
ERROR: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt = 1: Stale NFS file handle ERROR: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt = 2: Stale NFS file handle ERROR: file I/O problem in safe_write(), errcnt = 3: Stale NFS file handle
Does this sound plausible? It's an intermittent problem, but I'm seeing it more often as time passes. Probably due to the degradation of the joystick quality on the lola remote.
If so, the question is how to fix it.
1) Is it possible to prevent a "rapid fire" pressing of the enter button via my lirc config file?
2) Perhaps a code change in mythtv to prevent this sort of double deletion?
Any suggestions?
