Re: Stale File handles keep coming back

[Frank Steiner <fsteiner-mail@bio.ifi.lmu.de>]

One more info:

It seems that we can easily reproduce the problem when
a) an application does some work in a directory and
b) a shell is running in the same directory and left unused for some
    time (about 45 minutes seem to be enough).

Then the shell encounters the "stale NFS handle" when it tries to do
sth again.

Scenarios are e.g. an emacs running and writing a .tex file every
few minutes, and a shell is used to call "latex ...". 40 minutes of
editing with emacs without using the shell result in a stale NFS
handle when calling latex in the shell after that time.

Or running a firefox and having the shell chdir to
~/.mozilla/firefox/<the defaults user profile directory>
I guess firefox is writing the cache or sth. else. Again, the shell
will stale when left untouched for about 40 minutes.

Maybe this can help to reproduce the bug.

cu,
Frank
