Date: Fri, 9 May 2003 19:26:11 +0530 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi, I am trying to configure Veritas Cluster server on RHAS2.1 (2 node configuration). Every thing works fine till I configure NFS service group. Once the service is up I am able to mount exported FS on my client machine. But once I switch over the service from one node to another, I get *stale NFS file handle* error for any open file (eg while doing dd if=/dev/zero of=/ I get stale handle for ) but I am able to do any new operation like ls, cd or dd without any need for unmounting/mounting the FS. This requires some kernel enhancement and is implemented in RHAS2.1 (kernel 2.4.9-e.3) but still I am facing this problem. I had same trouble with RED HAT CLUSTER MANAGER but somehow it got resolved. [ and I am not sure how :-( ] Any idea how this can be resolved?? Regards Chandan
