CR cache -- CaseID v0164603

During a build, one often gets such warnings:

clearmake: Warning: Error encoding cache directory into CR cache - Stale NFS file handle
clearmake: Warning: Error closing CR cache file .cmake.state - Stale NFS file handle

We have recorded such occurrences for a long time (more than one year), and I have heard of them from other people in Nokia.
We have steadily ignored them.

CR cache refers to the file named: .cmake.state, which clearmake produces during builds, and which is mentioned in the config_record and view man pages (only in v 3.2 for the last reference).
The cache directory is mentioned in the config_ccase man page (v 3.2).

First reported to Rational on Dec 8th 1998.

Status: closed. Some remaining occurrences of warnings, deemed benign.
