You say that the NAS server was rebooted. Were any of the machines
accessing the NAS rebooted? "Stale file handle" looks like a problem
within the server accessing the data, not the NAS. If you can't reboot,
can you umount/mount the NAS from one of the affected machines and then
try again on that machine?
