What is different in my case from those is that I have no NFS mounting on my system. It happens on my $HOME, which is a separate partition ext2 system. When I list these two files, it outputs: $ ls -l ~/.xsession-errors ~/.Xauthority ls: cannot access /home/michael/.xsession-errors: Stale NFS file handle ls: cannot access /home/michael/.Xauthority: Stale NFS file handle I don't have NFS service open on my system. I do have samba, ssh server open. If the files are modified from any remote malicious user (by any chance, although low possibility), how to fix this two files by any mounting options? (like edit in /etc/fstab for /home entry). Thanks very much.
