ESTALE should occur whenever the client looses connection to the server, or thinks it has lost connection. It isn't directly related to the server other than the fact that a server reboot will also cause it to happen.
This should be a transient failure that recovers when communication verified from some of the timeouts/retries associated with NFS.
At worst, it can require a remount of the NFS volumn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
