In the old days NFS Shared Path had a static handle (ie a number), normal based on some number pulled out of the file system/inode. To fix (well work around) a security issue, for about 10+ years now, when a NFS server reboots, it generates a new random handle for the NFS Share. (sever may generate a new random handle per mount request)
The NFS Stale Handle happens when the client is still using the old NFS handle, the only fix is a remount
But that applies only to file handles that were opened before reboot, not to new fds opened after reboot, right? At least I can't see it working any other way.
