Hi,
This list is most helpful. Thanks to:
Dave Blackman,
Bismark Espinoza and
Jochen Bern.
I'm now able to decode what those Stale NFS file handle:
(file handle: 80000e 2 a0000 a2b40 6c32949a a0000 2 2fede13) mean.
For SunOS4, use showfhd(8), but I'm using Solaris, so..., but
Dave Blackman was very kind to send me the fhfind script from Sun's InfoDoc to
look up the mapping. (The original missed some ; and | which I've corrected as
listed below.)
Thanks a bunch,
Kai

# fhfind: takes the expanded filehandle string from an
# NFS write error or stale filehandle message and maps
# it to a pathname on the server.
#
# The device id in the filehandle is used to locate the
# filesystem mountpoint. This is then used as the starting
# point for a find for the file with the inode number
# extracted from the filehandle.
#
# If the filesystem is big - the find can take a long time.
# Since there's no way to terminate the find upon finding
# the file, you might need to kill fhfind after it prints
# the path.
