nfs fun

Does anyone know how to map an NFS file-handle to a filename on the NFS server?

I've got a rogue process that is trying to lock a file, getting denied by the
server, and then trying again in a very tight loop, leading to a high volume
of useless NFS traffic.  I'm trying to figure out what file it is, so that I
might figure out which application is doing it (so that I can murder it).

Wireshark tells me what's in the NFS packets, which contain the file handle in
question.  But I don't know how to map that to a file...

Server: CentOS 5.2
Client: Fedora 11

Tnanks,
Matt
