Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users What is a file handle? for NFS troubleshooting stale issue. Post 302811643 by MadeInGermany on Thursday 23rd of May 2013 11:02:30 PM

A reboot of a sane NFS server retains the NFS file handle!
And sane clients continue without stale NFS handle!
Sporadic stale handles most likely is an internal congestion in the bad Linux NFS client, and congestions are most likely in bad SuSE kernels.

/usr/bin/nfsstat [-i interval] [-23cnsrz] [system] OPTIONS
Displays summary information at the specified interval. Displays client NFS and RPC information, unless otherwise specified by either the -n or -r option. Displays server NFS and RPC information, unless otherwise specified by either the -n or -r option. Displays NFS client and server information, unless otherwise specified by either the -c or -s option.

The nfsstat command displays statistical information about the Network File System (NFS) and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interfaces in the kernel (by reading /dev/kmem). It can also be used to reinitialize this information. If no options are given, nfsstat displays both server RPC and NFS version 2 and version 3 information, and client RPC and NFS version 2 and version 3 information. The system argument specifies the file containing the system's name list. Otherwise, /vmunix is used. FILES
Specifies the kernel memory. nfsstat(8)
