ESTALE indicates either any of the following situations:

1. In the case of named-lookup (loc containing <pargfid>/<name>), <pargfid>
is not present. Which means parent is not present on the brick
2. In the case of nameless lookup (loc containing only <gfid> of the file),
file/directory represented by gfid is not present on brick.

Which among the above two scenarios is your case?
