My original mail described a problem related to NFS server/client.
On the server the following messages appeared every 10 minutes:
NFS server: stale file handle fs(2867,346037) file 13100 gen 32769
RFS3_READ, client address = 129......., errno 32
According to the online documentation this error is due to the fact
that the client is trying to find a file that no longer exists (stale).
I wanted to find out what file 13100 was.
Several contacted me saying this had been a problem at their site too.
The solution came from a suggestion from Knut Hellebo. This problem has
been treated before and the program that translates the file id 13100
is the program vncheck with about the following syntax (the exported
directory is advfs):
# vncheck -i 13100 local_domain#local
The following appeared quickly:
local_domain#local:
And after quite some time the program came up with the result:
13100 /lib/netscape/netscape
The rest was easy, just check to see who were running netscape on the
client and then kill (netscape).
I believe the reason for the messages to appear every 10 minutes has to
do with netscape mail. The conflict may have come from an upgrade of
netscape so that different versions of netscape were involved.
