[rhelv6-list] Stale NFS file handle

[Cale Fairchild]

I have been having issues with NFS file handles since upgrading to 6.2 
and was wondering if anyone else has noticed strange behaviour? I have 
searched Bugzilla and nothing came up so I turn to the list.

It seems to have started after installing nfs-utils-1.2.3-15.el6 (from 
6.2 upgrade) running on both kernel-2.6.32-220.2.1.el6 and 
kernel-2.6.32-220.4.1.el6. When the server reboots, all the connected 
NFS clients seem to have stale NFS handles afterwards. Some clients even 
report a stale NFS handle after they themselves have been restarted.
I do not believe that any of the NFS nor firewall configurations have 
changed since I last restarted with the 6.1 kernel with no issues.

Since this is not a test server (and I do not have one running 6.2 yet) 
I wanted to throw the query at the list to see if others have seen this 
behaviour before opening a bugzilla report, as I will not be able to 
provide much testing or debugging on it right now.

Thanks for any feedback that anyone can give (even feedback saying that 
your NFS is working just fine since the upgrade, then I can start 
looking deeper into my configurations).
