How to create Stale NFS file handle?

Question

I need to test script that deletes stale NFS file handles, so I would like to prepare a sample. Which way is simplest? Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is a super-hacky way that I do it.

in 1 terminal

vim tmp.tmp

in a second terminal

rm -f tmp.tmp.swp

This should generate a .nfs##### file.
