NFS Stale file handler for: cat <<EOF foo EOF ?

NFS Stale file handler for: cat <<EOF foo EOF ?

Post by Arthur van Leeuw » Sun, 07 Apr 1996 04:00:00



I have made a diskless pentium machine using 1.3.83 and the 'root on nfs'
option. Took a while, but it finally works :)

The only problem i have is that the following alwyas goes wrong:

#!/bin/sh
echo "testing"
cat << EOM
This
is
a
test
EOM
echo "Done"

Yielding:

testing
cat: -: Stale NFS file handle
Done

Is this a basic 'flaw' of NFS? Or am i using some old outdated buggy
nfsd ? Or is it the kernel nfs code ?

I'm puzzled
