[Freeipa-users] Stale NFS file handle

[Ondrej Valousek]

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