Hallo Robert, you could search the archives for "NFS Problem" and "STALE", you will probably find my post near end of September. The short solution: Use "no_subtree_check" in /etc/exports like this: /home \ tony.local.net(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) I think I have found a bug in the nfs server code that always returns a failure on subtree checks. I described my findings in a post to this list, but nobody answered. Patrick
