We're using HP machines running HP 11 against a NetApp, using NFS. We are occasionally seeing ESTALE errors on file I/O operations. This may be a problem in the application, but I'd welcome any information any of you have on just what ESTALE means. I've seen it described as occurring when an NFS client uses an invalid file handle, but I've also seen reference to it occurring when machines are rebooted.
So, my rather vague question is: what do you all know about ESTALE?
