[Lustre-discuss] [Lustre-devel] Meaning of LND/neterrors ?

[Alexey Lyashkov]

Hi Aurelien,

That message you can see in two cases
1) low level network error, that bad - because client will be reconnected and resend requests after that error.
that will add extra load to the service nodes.

2) service node (MDS, OSS) is restarted or hung, at that case transfer aborted.
