Thanks a lot for the response. Seems like we need to explore upgrading the servers. Do you happen to know how smooth that process is likely to be? We have lustre 1.8.8 on CentOS 5.4 there, I presume we need to upgrade the OS and then follow the upgrade procedure in the lustre manual, maybe it is

Hello- We have a working 1.8 lustre cluster with which we are very happy. The object and metadata servers are running one of the recommended CentOS distributions (5.4), but the clients are all Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, with kernel 2.6.32. It is not feasible for us to change on the client side to a dif
