stale NFS handle

2003-09-30 Thread Joel Hammer
I mounted a drive on a server via samba on a client (/mnt/Backup) . I then changed smb.conf on the server to reference a different path, and now my client complains that there is a stale NFS handle on /mnt/Backup. Is there a way to fix this problem without rebooting? Thanks, Joel
