Subj: 	kgb needs a kick in the mountd?
kgb's mountd is handing out bad file handles: 	

alingo 140% ~/c/nfs/nfs
nfs> mount kgb:/share/kgb/build/hw5x.dsk6
Open kgb.zk3.dec.com (16.140.64.62)
Mount failed: Unable to obtain transfer size

# tcpdump -s300 -pNt host kgb
tcpdump: listening on ln0
Using kernel BPF filter
alingo.30d57203 > kgb.mount-v1: 116 call mount "/share/kgb/build/hw5x.dsk6"
kgb.30d57203 > alingo.mount-v1: 60 reply mount  OSF/1 fh 733,831166/3675781.2
alingo.30d600f3 > kgb.nfs-v2: 116 call statfs OSF/1 fh 733,831166/3675781.2
kgb.30d600f3 > alingo.nfs-v2: 28 reply statfs ERROR: Stale NFS file handle
alingo.31d57203 > kgb.mount-v1: 116 call umount "/share/kgb/build/hw5x.dsk6"
kgb.31d57203 > alingo.mount-v1: 24 reply umount

This has disclosed a bug in OSF/1 that is causing clients mounting these
to crash.  Oops.

Can someone kill -HUP mountd on kgb (or kill and restart)?

I suspect that the stale file handles are due to local file systems
being mounted or unmounted after mountd was started.  You might want to
check the status of local mounts on kgb, too.

Fixed.  kill -HUP did the trick.		-josh
