Subject: stale nfs errors on proc

Hi,

sometimes we get stale nfs errors with proc files. Mostly this happens with
sshd (remote ssh login is not possible in this case), on trying to kill the
sshd server by killall -15 sshd, we get something like this (I have forgotten
the exact syntax): stale nfs error on /proc/nn/EXE

A killall -9 sshd works fine.


Best Regards,

Bernd
