I was previously under the impression that a NFS FH was basically a concatenation of a device # and an inode #. This was shot down earlier today. The problem was that a disk had failed and we where doing a replacement (the new disk was not identical to the old, it was substantially larger). I proceeded to format it so that the old fstab entry would work with the new drive (that is the NFS exported partition would be called /dev/wd1s1h -- same device number, no?) I then used dump/restore to ensure that the inode numbers would remain the same. Making to further changes I shut down the machine, swapped in the new drive and brought the system back up. The new drive was mounted faithfully by the old fstab. Yet I now see "Stale NFS Handle"s on my clients. What did I do wrong? -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Lab Director | Rm: 308 Lally Hall Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
