[Bug] Stale File handle error, for network mounted volumes #4249

Description

@calgara12

RomM version
5.1.0

Describe the bug
My RomM library is split between a local filesystem and an NFS-mounted filesystem:

/mnt/etherize/games → /romm/library (local)
/mnt/games/windows → /romm/library/roms/win (NFS)
/mnt/games/gamecube → /romm/library/roms/ngc (NFS)
/mnt/games/switch → /romm/library/roms/switch (NFS)

After an NFS outage, the host recovers normally, but the existing RomM container gets Stale file handle for the NFS directories. Restarting RomM fixes it.

To Reproduce

Run RomM with the above bind mounts.
Stop the NFS server.
Start the NFS server again.
The host can access /mnt/games/*.
RomM reports Stale file handle.
Restart RomM → works again.

Expected behavior
RomM should recover access after the NFS share comes back online without requiring a container restart.
