Hello! We have a system here with a few Linux servers and about 65 Linux workstations, all running RH 6.1 or 6.2. One of the servers shares out /opt to all workstations. The problem is that some workstations looses the NFS connection to the main server. All I get is a "Stale NFS file handle". However the portmap (I think) seems to say the following in the message log when everything starts RPC: garbage, exit EIO RPC: garbage, retrying 39918 RPC: garbage, retrying 39918 and repeats it forever. Sometimes the nfs client and server seems to be able to recover to connection but most of the time not. A simple unmount/mount-procedure cures the problem but most of the time people have some filelocks on /opt and then I can't unmount which means we have to reboot that machine. Could someone shed some light on this and what is really happening? I doubt there is a physical network problem because except for this everything is running smoothly.
