[Lustre-discuss] lustre no longer allows reads/writes (stopped working)?

[Robert Minvielle]

and retest. 

Thank you.

That means your /etc/groups file is out of sync between clients and  
MDS and you
have group upcall configured
Make them to be identical as the simplest way to fix it, or refer to  
bug 14756:
https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14756 for more details.
