I just checked the dump, and the client is indeed sending the correct filehandle (exactly the same one as in the COMMIT just before it). Hmm... It looks to me as if you are exporting that filesystem with the "subtree_check" option enabled. Could you try to set "no_subtree_check"? The subtree checking stuff breaks NFS in various subtle ways (including renames etc), and is one of the more common sources of ESTALE errors. Cheers, Trond
