- Stale mean the server has rebooted: But not always necessarily true.
- Stale error can comes with many situations, I have posted this error seeing Stale error , on SAP packages , that throws intermittently on the nfs mounted client. One stale error happening due to improper use of file handle or multiple places the same file being used. But not sure about how this is happening and doubt some SAP process causing it on the hp-ux unix side , some SAP note says so. I got one good document in the search process : link given:

nfs - Network File System
Description
The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in
NFS provides support for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment. The system administrator for a
file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export list.
The administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
ing client machine. A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine. Once
imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
