List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Archive: Hi all, just for the records: I'm experiencing the same problem after I upgraded from the SuSE kernel 2.6.8-24.11 to 2.6.8-24.14 (official SuSE update). The PC server and the client are running the 2.6.8-24.14 kernel, we have an additional NFS server running the SLES 9 kernel-pseries64-2.6.5-7.151. Our users have exactly the same symptoms, either on their homes or on directories mounted from the pSeries. It happens when they e.g. have an xterm with a shell and chdir to a directory, do sth. in there, and then leave the shell untouched for say 30 minutes. After this time, they do a "ls" and get ls: .: Stale NFS file handle Calling "cd .." and then "cd ", the ls works again. I'm currently trying to the cut the environment down to a base scenario by e.g. throwing out all other NFS mounts that we have from other domains etc. I will try the things you proposed and send the results here. Just to report that... Maybe it makes it easier to find the bug when it's known to happen in 2.4 and 2.6... cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
