SUMMARY: Stale NFS file handle

 Thanks to Sanjaya Srivastava and Aleks Feltin for their input.

 In the file handle log below, the first number should correspond to the
 nfs share dev entry from /etc/mnttab, and the fourth number to the inode
 of the file in question.

 I have not come to a resolution since the logged filesystem id is not in
 /etc/mnttab, even when I force all possible automounts. Searching all
 volumes one by one, I eventually found a matching inode, but the file
 hasn't been touched, and certainly not written to, in three months.

 NFS v4 may help, but I cannot enable it on the filer because we have too
 many clients which don't support it.
