Hello,

I came across something strange with the 'ls' command and I'm curious if 
anybody has any ideas about it:

[root@pc14341 /]# cd /afs
[root@pc14341 afs]# ls
ls: .: Stale NFS file handle
[root@pc14341 afs]# ls /afs
my.domain.com
[root@pc14341 afs]# ls -a /afs
.  ..  .my.domain.com  my.domain.com
[root@pc14341 afs]# ls -a my.domain.com
home shared
[root@pc14341 afs]# cd /afs/my.domain.com/
[root@pc14341 my.domain.com]# ls
home  shared

/afs seems to be the only directory affected.  It's more of a curiosity 
than a problem.  System is: redhat 8.0, openafs 1.2.7.

Thanks.
