NFS Problems and Solutions

Problem The logfile encapsulator reports the warning message:
Unable to get status of file <filename>. Stale NFS handle.
Description The logfile encapsulator can sometimes perceive logfiles set up on NFS as
being open, even after they have been removed. This causes an attempted
access to fail.
Solution Change the policy by closing the logfile between reads. Select Window:
Message Source Templates to open the Message Source
Templates window. Make sure that logfiles are listed, click on the
desired logfile, then on [Modify...]. In the Modify Logfile window,
click on [Close after Read].)
