December 20, 20196 yr I recently started running into the dredded "Stale file handle" error when accessing a share via NFS (which I do between linux machines so that rsync based backups that support file versioning work; like rdiff-backup. as they need to be able to do hard and sym links to work, so SMB is out. What I've discovered: Exporting a share that has a cache enabled, works well... until the mover moves the files. Then I start to get "Stale file handle" errors on the client side. For some reason it doesn't recover, and unmount/remount doesn't work from client to correct. To correct the issue: on unRaid console do: `exportfs -ra` Work Around: Disable cache for NFS exported shares, or keep it only on cache, or an unassigned drive. i.e. don't move the files! I put in the general support as I guess this isn't a "bug" per se... however, it would be good to have a solution; perhaps mover script can call exportfs?
