Good afternoon, All

I hope everyone is doing well.

I had a few questions concerning LU-13645 - Various data corruptions possible 
in lustre [https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-13645].

We are looking at deploying Lustre 2.12.5 and while browsing JIRA, this 
particular issue caught my attention. I read the issue, however, I can't 
determine if it is severe enough to prevent upgrading.

Is anyone familiar with this issue and its severity/prevalence? Has anyone else 
upgraded to 2.12.5?

Chad,
from what I can see in that ticket, this problem (or problems) largely affect 
specific features that are not used by default - lockahead and SEL, and 
possibly DoM.

The lockahead feature is only used with a specific versions of MPI ADIO 
libraries, so it is unlikely that you are using it.  Similarly, SEL is new and 
doesn't even exist in the 2.12 release.  While DoM is in the 2.12 release, but 
from reading the ticket, it sounds like this issue is very difficult to 
reproduce, so either you are currently (not) seeing it, or (more likely) you 
aren't using DoM at all (you would know if you are), so upgrading to 2.12.5 
doesn't affect this either way.

Cheers, Andreas
