OK, in the absolute worst case (you just can't reboot), and assuming the file system is mount on /a/src: cd /a mv src src.dead mkdir src mount /a/src This has never failed me. Then next time you reboot rmdir /a/src.dead >Terry comments: > Is it possible the the handle is, in fact, stale? by which i think he means: Did that remote file system get moved to a different disk, or get changed in some way? The it is, in fact, stale! You did mention that the remote machine went down, right? Did it change? ron
