Hi All,<BR>
<BR>
I just changed one filesystem on my mythbox from ext3 to xfs, and now I can't get a client machine to NFS mount from it.<BR>
<BR>
This is the export file on the server:<BR>
/file-store/nfs-roots/f1/home f1(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)<BR>
/file-store/nfs-roots/f1/usr f1(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)<BR>
/file-store/nfs-roots/f1/var f1(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)<BR>
<BR>
and on the client(f1) the three filesystems are mount on /home, /usr, and /var<BR>
<BR>
This worked fine when /file-store on the server was formatted with ext3, now that it is formatted with xfs I get this message on the client:<BR>
mount.nfs: Stale NFS file handle<BR>
I get this message 3 times.<BR>
Nothing else changed, both systems are Debian Lenny with custom kernel.<BR>
Server is 2.6.28, client is 2.6.29.6. NFS is version 3.<BR>
The fstab on the server has this:<BR>
/dev/mapper/big--raid-file--store /file-store xfs noatime,logbsize=256k,inode64 0 1<BR>
<BR>
The reason for the change of the filesystem was an upgrade of the drives in the RAID, now the filesystem is 7T instead of 2.4T, <BR>
nothing else was changed. Why did this work with ext3 and does not with XFS? What can I do to get this to work, short of reverting to ext3?<BR>
<BR>
K
