On my 486 ( Vortex 86) machine,
Without nfs-utils installed
"mount -onolock lxc:/mnt/stuff/TCL /mnt/TCL" results in
mount: mounting lxc:/mnt/stuff/TCL on /mnt/TCL failed: Stale NFS file handle
"mount -onolock lxc:/tftpboot /mnt/tftpboot" mounts ok.
After installing nfs-utils and starting nfs-client;
"mount lxc:/mnt/stuff/TCL /mnt/TCL" calls:
"/usr/local/sbin/mount.nfs lxc:/mnt/stuff/TCL /mnt/TCL -o"
Note the extraneous "-o"
This results in the following error messages:
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
mount: mounting lxc:/mnt/stuff/TCL on /mnt/TCL failed: Stale NFS file handle
"mount lxc:/tftpboot /mnt/tftpboot" mounts without calling /usr/local/sbin/mount.nfs.
On my 568 (VIA) machine,
nfs mounts do NOT call /usr/local/sbin/mount.nfs, and both mounts succeed.
------------- Resolved -------------
Incase anyone else sees the same problem, a BIOS reset to safe settings fixed the problem.
