[Bug libc/14256] New: ESTALE error text should be reworded


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14256

             Bug #: 14256
           Summary: ESTALE error text should be reworded
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: joe@julianfamily.org
                CC: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


ESTALE which is the base for the error text of "Stale NFS file handle" in
sysdeps/gnu/errlist.c happens on *any* stale filehandle, totally independent
from the fact if the underlying filesystem is NFS, is a corrupt ext2/3/4
filesystem with dangling inodes, or is fuse based. The error message should be
reworded to be more generic instead of (in many cases) falsely pointing to NFS
only.
