We performed further testing with NFS clients of various kernel versions:
- Debian etch with 2.6.18.dfsg.1-22etch2: ok
- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 with linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic 2.6.24-19.41: stat() returns ESTALE indefinitely
- Debian etch with vanilla kernel.org 2.6.26.1: ok
- Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 Alpha 5 with linux-image-2.6.27-3-generic 2.6.27-3.4: ok (stale for approx. one second and then ok and updated)
So it seems to us that this bug quite likely has something to do with these changes to the kernel:
'http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/NFS_Client_Updates_for_2.6.24'. It seems to be fixed at least in 2.6.26 and 2.6.27. I wonder what would be a suitable fix for 8.04 LTS?
