Not if the target is mounted in failover (vs. failout) mode.  One of the
basic principles of Lustre is that when a target fails (and it is
mounted in failover mode) I/O to/from it will block (not fail) until the
target is functional again.

The recovery_*_scale.sh tests are written to stress test that basic
principle.
