Subject: Need Help to Fix Stale NFS File Handle
I have two disks running in a Debian machine ( Linux version 2.6.26-1-686
(Debian 2.6.26-13lenny2) () (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704
(prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 18:08:45 UTC 2009). One
disk has the OS, the other disk has lots of photos and the program gallery3
(http://gallery.menalto.com/gallery_3_begins) to display them on the web.
The disk controller channel for the photo disk died, but the os kept on
running. I replaced the controller card, and now both drives are running.
However, I am getting some stale NFS file handles on some of the images on
the photo drive. I don't use NFS on this machine, or any machine on my
network. However, the pictures with the stale NFS file handles do not
display when I run gallery.

How should I fix this problem? Delete and re-install the offending pictures?
Run fsck on the photos drive? Stop taking so many pictures? ;-)

Thanks!

Mark
