Most of this depends upon where the ESTALE error was encountered
in the file system and what the application was doing with that
object. It also depends upon what semantics are desired for
"recovering".
In general though, a client reboot is not required. Finding a
way to umount and mount again or to close and reopen the file
will lead to things clearing up.
By the way, which Linux kernel version is 2.6.Le?
Thanx...

Thanks Peter!!
Sorry typo... I meant Linux kernel version 2.6.12.
Is there any pointer where I can get more info about recovering from
ESTALE error at client?
Regards,
Ajay
