Ah, the easiest steps to reproduce: 1) Take two NFS clients, one of which is running 2.6.24-something (machine B) and the other can run any version (machine A). You can equally well use the NFS server itself as machine A, as long as machine B is running 2.6.24 NFS client. 2) On A: 'touch file'. 3) On B: 'stat file', stats print out fine. 4) On A: 'cp file another && mv another file'. 5) On B: 'stat file' results in 'stat: cannot stat `file': Stale NFS file handle for a long time (~minutes). 6) On B: 'ls .' or 'touch file' or 'cat file >/dev/null' (open()ing the file or reading the directory containing the file) makes 'stat file' work normally again.
