Stale nfs file handle - cwd without path - workaround?

["Wally Winchester" <wally_winchester@fastmail.fm>]

Hello,

I have an nfs setup with heartbeat failover that is working nicely. I
only have one problem, I hope someone can help.

When nfs1 dies, and nfs2 takes over, everything works - as long as the
clients are writing files using the full paths.
If the path is omitted, i.e. they are expecting a write to their cwd, a
"stale nfs file handle" warning is issued.

Is there a way around this?

e.g. this works
touch /nfs-mount/file
(failover)
touch /nfs-mount/file

e.g. this doesn't work
cd /nfs-mount/
touch file
(failover)
touch file
(stale nfs file handle)

Thanks
