[NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Re: Issues with Changing pseudo path of an export
If a pseudo path changes, ideally the file handle should be correct and
returning 'stale file handle' is a bug. We should be able to return stale
state though and the client should do the right thing. File handle has
version in it, so returning stale file handle is OK if the export version
changes.
If an admin wants to remove an export or its version, it is OK to honor him
and return stale file handle, correct?

What happens to state attached to files where the client will now get a
stale file handle? This may not be an issue if the Pseudo Path to an export
changes, but certainly would be a problem if v3 or v4 were dropped from the
export.
If it really is only a problem for dropping v3 or v4 we could do the
version specific state cleanup for the export.
