On our Lustre system we are seeing the following error fairly regularly, so far we have not had complaints from users and have not noticed any negative effects, but it would still be nice to understand the errors better. The systems reporting these errors are NFS exporters for subtrees of the Lustre file system.
One the Lustre client/NFS server: May 6 14:23:09 i16-storage1 kernel: LustreError: 11-0: an error occurred while communicating with 172.23.6...@tcp.

Unfortunately we have so far not been able to reproduce it. Does anyone know if we should worry about those messages or if we can safely ignore them? Or should we assume that some of our users might have a problem accessing data that they have just not reported? Even though I find that unlikely. I've seen a thread mentioning similar messages[1] but could not find any conclusion. Our MDS, OSSes and the clients involved are all running Lustre 1.6.7.2.ddn3.5 on RHEL5. If necessary I can probably find exactly which patches the ddn3.5 version has applied on top of 1.6.7.2.
