I wonder if this is related to the lack of caching that I'm seeing (not that I'm the only one) -- when the mtime of the directory a file is in changes, the cache of the file is dropped even if the file itself hasn't been touched on the server.
Ow gawd: I just managed to get a stale NFS file handle message (2.1.90pre2). To reproduce, do the following (server is Universal NFS Server 2.2beta16 on a 2.0 box): mkdir test mkdir test/2 cd test ( cd 2 && dd if=/dev/urandom of=foo bs=128 ) & ln 2/foo zork ls -al
This results in 'dd: foo: Stale NFS file handle'. Sounds like something is pretty broken to me.
