You can get authentication failure if the user's home is on a NFS
which is failing to re-mount.<br>
The stale NFS handle usually means the NFS server changed fsid of
the exported volume after its reboot.<br>
This usually happens if you are exporting a LVM partition via NFS.<br>
The workaround is to specify fsid of the exported volume manually in
/etc/exports<br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div>My ipa server and my nfs server are the same machine
running centos 6.3.</div>
<div>The server was accidentally down and rebooted.</div>
<div>But then I got "authentication failsure" on some clients
when tried to log on through gdm, and blue screen (no desktop,
no panels) on some others.</div>
<div>On some clients that I was on before the server was
downthe, I got "Stale NFS file handle".</div>
<div>Yet on some other clients, everything is fine. All clients
are running centos 6.3, too.<br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way (e.g. restarting some services) to get the
above problems away instead of rebooting the clients?<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
