[Gluster-devel] Stale NFS file handle, then EINVAL

[Emmanuel Dreyfus]

Another bug: first find complains of a stale NFS filehandle
find: /gfs/usr/src/tools/binutils/../../gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc: Stale
NFS file handle

Then ls -l or cat gets EINVAL
# ls -l  /gfs/usr/src/tools/binutils/../../gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc
ls: /gfs/usr/src/tools/binutils/../../gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc:
Invalid argument
# ls -l  /gfs/usr/src/gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc                     
ls: /gfs/usr/src/gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc: Invalid argument 


The file exists on the backends (both get the same results)
server1# ls -l /export/*/usr/src/gnu/dist/binutils/cpu/sh.opc

Server logs say nothing. Client log says this:

[2011-07-19 19:45:03.186431] W [stat-prefetch.c:3627:sp_stat_helper]
0-gfs-stat-prefetch: lookup-behind has failed for path

(Invalid argument)

I have to unmount and remount the filesystem on the client to fix the problem.
What happens?
