The file handle given in the arguments referred to a file on a non-local file system on the server. NFS3ERRREMOTE Too many levels of remote in path. The file referred to by that file handle no longer exists or access to it has been revoked. In this case, running fsck is recommended. The file handle given in the arguments was invalid. Rm: cannot remove `fCVS': Stale NFS file handle

Note: if this error only happens when accessing certain files, this means that your (non-network) filesystem is broken: tar: linux/fs/noquot.c: Could not create file: No such file or directory tar: linux/fs/ufs/file.c: Could not write to file: Invalid argument tar: linux/fs/ufs/file.c: Could not change access and modification times: Stale NFS file handle tar: linux/fs/ufs/file.

and I will try to reply again to the group if I find it doesnt solve my problem You said that 'NFS Stale File Handle' often signals the export is not valid anymore. Im not sure what (if any) locking NFS provides, but this looks right now like my problem.

nfs4exports/xen-config 192.168.18.129/26(rw,nohide,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=2) deleting the file before the Windows application has finished reading it. When the client tries to lookup a file from that directory, it then. for which inode->isize < NFSLIMITREADDIRPLUS) we call READDIRPLUS. It ensures that for 'short' directories (defined as one.
#NFS READDIRPLUS FILE HANDLE IS INVALID STALE PATCH#
nfs > sunny.2191983955: reply ok 1000 readdirplus (. The following patch allows the Linux NFSv3 client to make use of this. The overlay fs only works with the disk that I initially used. nfs4exports 192.168.18.129/26(ro,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,fsid=0) These invalid entries can also produce associated symptoms such as slow Windows startups, computer. /mnt/imagescomplete can be different disks depending on what I want to edit (files spread between multiple disks). Obvious, and self-explanatory, isn’t it? If you happened to have this “Stale NFS file handle” problem and your exported NFS file systems were on a LVM volume, adding fsid for each exported filesystem should help: Some Linux filesystems are not mounted on a block device exporting these via NFS requires the use of the fsid option (although that may still not be enough).

This can be useful for NFS failover, to ensure that both servers of the failover pair use the same NFS file handles for the shared filesystem thus avoiding stale file handles after failover.
#NFS READDIRPLUS FILE HANDLE IS INVALID STALE 32 BIT#
Any 32 bit number can be used, but it must be unique amongst all the exported filesystems. This option forces the filesystem identification portion of the file handle and file attributes used on the wire to be num instead of a number derived from the major and minor number of the block device on which the filesystem is mounted. Ever rebooted your NFS server, just to find out that your NFS clients can’t access it any more, with an error message “Stale NFS file handle”? If this happened to you and you have your NFS server’s exports on a LVM volume, this means that you didn’t read a fine exports manual:
