That's okay (it's what you're supposed to see after changing the medium
on the NFS server), but the log message is just overcautious.

The NFS file handle calculation in cd9660 is a bit tricky.  Since the
authors apparently knew about potential pitfalls in it, it seems that
they decided to log the stale file handle conditions on the server,
too.  So in case the decision to send back the ``stale NFS file handle''
was wrong, one could basically track the reasons.

It should perhaps be hidden inside #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC or something else.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
