The server for /etc is unfs3 = and the client is 2.6.16. I need some help regarding the nfs protocol. Probably after updating mozilla /etc/mozilla/mozillarc was rewritten, I als= o = guess the inode was recycled. A 'ls /etc/mozilla/mozillarc' worked fine and showed the correct results. A 'cat /etc/mozilla/mozillarc' gave i/o errors. Ethereal shows that the getattr gives the correct results, but the read cal= l = gives an NFS3ERR_STALE. = Should the client in this case drop its filehandle cache and entirely = re-request the file from the server, or is the given i/o error ok? >From the point of the server, I guess, it already should return the = NFS3ERR_STALE for the getattr call, shouldn't it? I will look into the = sources to see why it didn't. (unfs3 was compiled with inode generation = number support). After an 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' the problem was solved for now= , = of course.
