Hi

I'm still experiencing _many_ NFS errors.

T have a NFS mounted home directory and in this home dir is the MH
mailbox area. I'm using exmh and other MH tools for e-mail, so the NFS
code is stress tested with this setup. The server is running unfsd
2.2beta4 and kernel 2.0.33

for example stat'ing the ~/Mail/inbox dir gives the following kernel
messages:

loki kernel: nfs_revalidate_inode: Mail/inbox getattr failed, ino=554541071, error=-116
Aug 6 12:20:26 loki kernel: NFS: bad fh 210da00f6160230500001b540000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Aug 6 12:20:26 loki kernel: 210da00f6160230500001b540000000000000000000000000000000000000000

ls -lid ~/Mail/inbox gives the following output:

554541071 drwx------ 2 xxxx xxxx 24576 Aug 6 13:15 /users/mla/Mail/inbox/

The application gets an ESTALE error.
