Re: [Freeipa-users] Stale NFS file handle
You can get authentication failure if the user's home is on a NFS which is failing to re-mount. The stale NFS handle usually means the NFS server changed fsid of the exported volume after its reboot. This usually happens if you are exporting a LVM partition via NFS. The workaround is to specify fsid of the exported volume manually in /etc/exports HTH, Ondrej On 09/12/2012 08:26 PM, george he wrote: Hello, My ipa server and my nfs server are the same machine running centos 6.3.

It works most of the time, sometimes rebooting or resetting is necessary. Do not change dir to the mount point because then your client will not respond :-) -- natxo ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
Re: [Freeipa-users] Stale NFS file handle
I tried umount but without -l, it said drive busy. Next time I will try with -l.
