I did a backup of the ssd on my eeepc using the following command from a Linux Mint on a USB key:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/disk/eeepc_save/SYSTEM/system.bck
(/media/disk in an external USB disk)
I deleted the ext2 partition using GPartEd on live USB key and created it back. I rebooted Linux Mint and restored the filesystem using the opposite command :
dd if=/media/disk/eeepc_save/SYSTEM/system.bck of=/dev/sda1
I mounted /dev/sda1 and when I "ls" the root directory, I get several "NFS stale file handle" messages concerning directories (/dev and other). I tried "e2fsck -y", had a bundle of corrections that resulted in the deletion of the directories. I don't use NFS. I did the same for the user filesystem and had no problem (it's an ext3 partition). The two filesystems are the ones that came with the original Xandros installed on my eeepc and that were mounted with union-fs.
We have Linux server in our environment for application development. In this server we mounted so many NFS share from Storage. Past few days we receive this error in
syslog kernel: nfs_statfs64: statfs error = 116
Some user fased this error "Stale NFS file handle"
Server info
OS= RedHat
Kernel = Linux hostname 2.4.21-47.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 5 20:38:41 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I get this error which means I cant visit websites. I cant rm, cp, mv, vi, ... this file. How do I regain the ability to browse the internet? Is there a way I can create a /etc/resolv.conf2 and have my system use that instead?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 20TB filesystem, xfs formatted. The filesystem has been mounted with the inode64 option, and I now need to NFS export it. NFS doesn't like the inode64 option at all. The NFS clients cannot access any of the directories with inode numbers exceeding the 32bit limit. They get the "Stale NFS file handle" message. I have tried to attach the filesystem to a RHEL5.3 system, and after turning on the no_subtree_check option in /etc/exports on the server, it all works fine. No changes were needed on the clients.
The problem is that I need to get this to work on a RHEL4.4 system. Unfortunately I cannot do any test on that system yet, I then did a quick test on a RHEL4.3 system... and it didn't work. Even using the no_subtree_check option was on any help. I am afraid that this will not work on the RHEL4.4 system either. How to get the inode64 xfs filesystem NFS exported on a 2.6.9 kernel?
I currently have a home network setup so that my main machine shares it's external hard-drive via NFS. This has been working perfectly for months, however I just got a new laptop, installed openSuse 11.3 x64 and set everything up. Now there is two folders on the external network mount that won't let me do anything and always just return Networking: Stale NFS File Handle. The system still works fine under my old openSUSE 11.2 x86 laptop. I have tried unmounting the drive from the laptop, restarting the NFS client, and restarting the NFS server on the main machine. None of these have made a difference.
It is only these two folders that are effected. Everything else works just fine.
I've got something showing up in my /mnt directory that I can't figure out how to get rid of. If I try to delete it, I get, "ERROR: Stale NFS file handle". I've tried googling it, but the only solution I can find is "remount and then unmount your NFS server". The trouble is that I don't have any NFS servers - it was a mountpoint for a squashfs file. Trying to remount the squashfile just gives the same error message. My best guess for how it was created is that maybe the file was deleted while mounted. Surely there is a way I can get rid of it? It stuffs up my system by e.g. preventing find from working. I'm running Puppy Linux 4.1.1, although I suspect that is irrelevant.

The files appear to be written successfully but the owner and group show up as "99." The source file system is mount USB ext3 drive and the target is a Buffalo TeraStation TS-XL/R5.

Now it does not boot. The error is libc.so.6 not found. Kernel panic. Attempting to kill init.
Booting under rescue:
ls: cannot access libc-2.8.so: Stale NFS file handle
Is there a way to reboot to a clean state? There must be some NFS cache file.
I also tried to cp rescueCD:/lib64/libc-2.8.so to the old lib64 dir, but get the same "Stale NFS file handle" message.
When I run lilo (/sbin/lilo), it messes up my /boot partition. Next time I try to mount it after running lilo, I get an error: "mount: Stale NFS file handle" (I define -t ext2). My /boot partition is ext2, mounted locally, and not nfs. Then I do fsck /dev/sda1, and I get several: Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (7665, counted=5063). Fix<y>? I say yes to all and it works normally afterwards. This happens only after I run lilo. Lilo is installed in MBR.
Here is relevant configuration:
Code:
root@darwin:/home/cabrilo# cat /etc/lilo.conf
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda
bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255
prompt
timeout = 30
change-rules
reset
vga = normal
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda3
label = Linux
read-only
This is my partition table:
Code:
root@darwin:/home/cabrilo# fdisk -l

I was following the relatively simple instructions here for setting up a LAMP system. After having installed Apache2-related applications, I ran
# a2enmod expires
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
That worked fine. Then, a little later, after having set up a virtual host for my project website, and after installing PHP, MySQL and setting up a Mail Server with Exim, I rebooted and started getting errors when trying to start Apache:
Starting web server: apache2apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/expires.load: Stale NFS file handle
Now it seems as if there is nothing I can do with that file:
# rm -f /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/expires.load
rm: cannot remove '/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/expires.load': Stale NFS file handle
# cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
[code]....
Is there anything I can do to refresh the NFS index so that it finds or removes this file? I'd be happy to just get rid of it. At the moment, I can't start Apache or anything because of it.
Many folders within a subdirectory some of which have lots of data in and some of which have only one specific file called produkt.fil inside.I need a command to find and delete those folders that contain ONLY the file produkt.fil - if other files exist (doesnt matter what they are) then they should be left alone. Note: produkt.fil exists in all of the folders always.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Puppy installed on an old laptop and one way or another I ended up with a file inside /usr/bin that has the Stale NFS file error. I've tried to look around for a way to fix it but all places I've looked have only been for the situation where it's on a drive you're able to unmount. At least I think they were. I certainly don't know what I'm doing well enough to know for sure. Obviously restarting the computer has been tried as well as attempting to unmount things, but I can't unmount the drive that is running the unmounting.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to setup a small network between my old and new laptops to transfer my personal data. They are now linked with a crossover cable and they see each other.The old one has a dual-boot setup with WinXp and Ubuntu 9.10.The new one with Win7 and Ubuntu 9.10.I tried samba but it was very slow even using Windows in both computers: maximum transfer rates were about 1,5 Mib/sec.I tried SSH using ubuntu on both pcs and it is reliable and much faster, 5 Mib/sec. But I wanted more...I installed the NFS server on the old one and exported the NTFS partition where my data resides with sync and ro options.
I installed the NFS client on the new one and i'm able to mount the remote partition.Now, when I transfer my files I get very high speed, more than 10 Mib/sec but after a while I get a "Stale NFS file handler" error but I really didn't touch any file in the old pc and the connection is always up.Searching on the web I found that NFS had some troubles exporting NTFS partitions in the past but should be fully compatible with them since the last versions of ubuntu.
How would you create and then delete a file that begins with the symbol "-"? Try it.
I can't write the command for this question and I don't why.

we assume that we have 2 folders with the name 1 and 2 . The folder 2 is inside 1 . Also, in folder 2 we have file with name "file.txt". And we are in folder 1 . How can we delete the file.txt in one command line ? I mean without using the code below:
Code:
cd 2
rm -f file.txt
cd ..
