Linux – ‘Stale NFS file handle’ error but no NFS mount present

debianlinuxnfs

One virtual machine runnning on Xen host experienced 'Stale NFS file handle' problems and I can't explain it while there is no NFS mount present.

The problem occurs when listing the content on a specific directory:

$ ls -la
ls: cannot access xxx: Stale NFS file handle

The following command returns nothing:

mount -t nfs

Other info:

# cat /etc/debian_version 
5.0.3

# uname -a 
Linux abc 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 21:39:38 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Best Answer

With no-NFS problem seems filesystem integrity. Try to check filesystem. It worked for me.
