Another question (with my tail between my legs). When I do this, I get many "Stale NFS file handle" messaages: $ diff -r project2/ /dvd/ diff: project2/Getting Started with Corel Painter 8/data/movies/chap05: Stale NFS file handle diff: project2/Getting Started with Corel Painter 8/data/movies/chap06: Stale NFS file handle ... diff: project2/Intermediate Flash MX 2004/CD 1/Xtras: Stale NFS file handle diff: project2/Intermediate Flash MX 2004/CD 2: Stale NFS file handle diff: project2/Intermediate Flash MX 2004/readme.txt: Stale NFS file handle diff: project2/Learning Access 2003/PC Exercise: Stale NFS file handle diff: project2/Learning Access 2003/readme.txt: Stale NFS file handle The DVD in question is on satan. The directory /E/documentation/Videos/Lynda.com/project2/ is on lucifer, but NFS mounted onto satan. All in all, the dvd has about 4.1 GB on it, so the amount of data is non-trivial. Does anyone know why this is happening?
