Hi,
I hope this is the right forum to post this question, to me it seemed the best match.
I have a problem regarding mounting a JFFS2 partition using NFS. I am using kernel 2.6.20 on my (embedded) system, which I had to patch in order to get this working:

However, I've updated to kernel 2.6.23-rc3, and now I have some weird problem mounting this partition over NFS. Mounting seems to work just fine, and I can even do ls and see the files that are on the partition. However, as soon as I try to access a file (e.g., using cat), I get the error message:
cat: /usr/local/script.sh: Stale NFS file handle
Creating a file also seems to work, e.g.
echo "Test" > /usr/local/test.txt
seems to work, the file is actually created. However, it turns out to be empty when catting it...
Has anyone got a clue as to what might have changed in the recent kernels that could trigger this problem?
Thanks,
Sander
