German:

I finally got around to testing this and unfortunately, I am still getting the 
stale file handle error.

Here is the command that I used for virtiofsd (which is embedded inside a 
startup script file in Proxmox).

nohup /usr/lib/kvm/virtiofsd --syslog --daemonize 
--socket-path=/var/run/shared-fs.sock -o source=/export/myfs/ -o cache=none &> 
/dev/null  &

If you have any other suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ewen

Hi Ewen,

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm using Proxmox 7.3-4 and I have a CentOS 7.7.1908 VM that's able to share 
data/files via Virtio-FS. That part is working fine.

However, if I try to export that VirtIO-FS "target" as a NFS export, whenever 
my other computers connect to that NFS share, it will say that the folders have 
stale NFS handles.

Is there a way to fix/resolve this?

Here is the output for /etc/exports:

/export *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=4)

I have tried rebooting the clients multiple times, along with 
mounting/unmounting said NFS share and it doesn't appear to make any difference.


Just to confirm, you want to share a folder using virtiofs with a VM, and then 
that VM running as an NFS server sharing that same folder over nfs, am I right?

If that is the case, it's not possible (*) the NFS server requires persistent 
file handles that FUSE does not support.

(*) I'm not sure, but IIRC Miklos said it could work if you disable the cache, 
so you can try running virtiofsd with `--cache=none` (let me know if that work).



Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ewen
