Hi all, we are running lustre 1.8.1 on about 800 clients. Some days ago, we
found a weird problem several times. When writing data, some clients
reported "LustreError: 11-0: an error occurred while communicating with
xx.xx.xx.xx at o2ib. The ost_write operation failed with -28", where
xx.xx.xx.xx is one of our OSS node. But both the MDS and OSS is not anywhere
near full. As we know, the errno 28 is "no space left on device". After some
time, everything appears to be ok again.

the space used:

So why it happened? BTW, OSS and MDS didn't say anything about "no space
left" in their logs, the os is SLES 10 sp2.
