Not true; as I've said, exportable local filesystems know how to look up
a file on disk by filehandle.

It is true, however, that there are some *other* cases when a server can
return ESTALE. In those cases (such as the one Peter Staubach discusses
in more detail at http://lwn.net/Articles/272684/) there may be some
recovery that a client might reasonably attempt.
Alas, no client can be expected to recover from ESTALE errors on an
opened file--those will just be passed on to the application.
