Thanks, however, the client is not completely unresponsive, it still has CPU
and about 500MB RAM so it should be OK from Lustre point of view.

Also, the problem arises as soon as I begin to shrink memory, e.g., from 8GB
to 0.5GB. Sometimes, Lustre client hangs. Is there any conceptual problem with
Lustre and memory shrinker in Xen?
