Hi,

on my cluster I have frequently problems with nfs... I get an error like:
Stale NFS file handle

This happens mostly during write out of an simulation or other access to the files (e.g. mapFields).
Unfortunately, the simple procedures explained here (http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/nfs-st...-solution.html) are not
working always... so according to the statement of
Daemeon from January 29, 2009:
"When you force unmount/remount and still get the error, you have some
program that is probably (?) not following proper file handle semantics
about closing files.", there might be a problem in openfoam!?

This happens with 1.5-dev,1.6.x and 1.7.x. The cluster has OpenSUSE 11.2 installed.
The workstation is running with opensuse 11.1 and ubuntu lucid, which share the data directories using nfs.

Does anyone have similar problems and could have an advice, what I could check or adjust (maybe there are some nfs settings making it a bit more 'stable')!?

Regards!
Fabian
