Hi all,

with NFS v3 I had following setup:
1 RAID system several LUNs
2 servers providing NFS service (nodeA, nodeB)

I'd set up the two servers making sure the disks they export have identically 
configured  major/minor number. Finally I set up an virtual interface and I was 
done.

With NFSv4 this setup does not work anymore out of the box. If I stop (while 
having a client writing) nodeA and start nodeB NFS throws ESTALE (stale file 
handles).

Stopping means: 
1. unplumb the virtual interface first
2. umount the FS

I tried to fiddle with DELEGATION set to off, which appeared to work
until I tried an x86 client, which again threw ESTALE
This error suggests different major/minor number on the two servers
but let me assure you: it is not the case !


Any clues as to where to fiddle and how to do it right ?

TIA 
Oliver
