If the server is acting sanely, the only thing that can cause an ESTALE
to occur is if a file gets deleted from some process on another client.
Unless you are playing really silly games (allowing other clients to
delete *open* files from underneath you), you should usually be able to
get round that problem by turning off attribute caching on the parent
directories: acdirmin=3Dacdirmax=3D0.

Cheers,
