Stale NFS file handle
Hi, I get an error saying "Stale NFS file handle"

how can I solve this? Is it possible to do this with a umount/ mount command?

HP-UX

the problem is that while cleaning up some stuff I accidentily deleted a mounted directory that's now causing trouble. I need it back though.

Was it mounted read only, or read write?

Is the data still one the box acting as the NFS server? If not, you will have to restore from backup.

Can you post the output of: mount
