Stale NFS file handle

[7280]

Hi,
I'm trying to mount a windows 2003 server share on redhat el advanced server 3.
Mount didn't give error, but when I enter the share and I issue ls I get the error:
ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

I already faced this problem, I know it's a windows 2003 server policy to disable but forget it!!
Any help is really appreciated, it's urgent!

Funny thing is that this command works:
mount -t smbfs -o username="domain\user" //winserver/winshare /mnt/dir

while the same command without "" in username failed!
mount -t smbfs -o username=domain\user //winserver/winshare /mnt/dir
19822: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

Very strange, eh?

However real problem is Stale NFS.

Thanks.

No, not strange as backslash is normally used in th elinux shell before passing spaces and therefore needs to be escaped or treated as "string"

Concerning your NFS stale lock, where is this lock? if there is really any you should find it in /tmp.
Have you configured NFS for windoz?
I find strange that samba is giving you a NFS stale lock message.
Is there another mount that may be using NFS on your system?

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

I've solved.
As I said it's a problem happing only on windows 2003. There's a policy.
I've disabled it and now it's ok.
winzoz policy is:
Microsoft Network client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees).

Bye.
