Stale NFS Handles in 2.6
Quoted 9 lines
Quoted 9 lines
Hi,
since 2.6.0-test6 I get "Stale NFS file handle" when transferring huge amounts
of data from a nfs-server which is running on -test6.
The client also runs -test6. Transfers from a server running kernel 2.4.22
work flawless.

I use the nfs-kernel-server 1.0.6 on Debian/sid.
Are you using mount options when mounting the NFS volume? I had this problem when I used rsize=8192 and wsize=8192 as nfs mount options. Just left them out and everything was fine again.

Will this help the Stale NFS problem I'm getting as well? (Detailed below)

I've been trying to run my NFS server on 2.6 kernels for a while now.
My desktop and my Firewall are both 2.6 already and happy. My fileserver though is giving me an ulcer.Quoted 5 lines

same export and mount configs.Thoughts?
you could search the archives for "NFS Problem" and "STALE", you will probably find my post near end of September. The short solution:

Use "
no_subtree_check" in/etc/exportslike this:/home \
tony.local.net(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)I think I have found a bug in the nfs server code that always returns a failure on subtree checks. I described my findings in a post to this list, but nobody answered.
