Sounds like a bug to me?
That means, if a process write data on a client, those data goes to page cache.
Not yet to OST if there is no local memory pressure. At that moment, if the client is evicted, those pages are dropped.
Then client reconnect, the process writes other data. Those I/O are successful, client has missed that some previous I/O 
failed?

Am I correct?
