[Lustre-discuss] problem with clients and multiple transports

Hello Folks,
	I'm having a problem pinning a given FS to a given transport type.  I have 2 file systems hosted on the OSS/MDS side by an ib and tcp nid (each) being mounted by a client specifying the appropriate transport for each of the file systems (one over tcp and one over o2ib).  I can not mount o2ib.  Period.  If my client's modprobe.conf lists o2ib before the tcp nid, any o2ib mount request fails.  If the modprobe.conf has tcp first, both mount requests will mount via tcp0, no matter how the mount request is crafted.  

	So, am I just missing documentation somewhere that states you can only use a single transport on a client at a time or is this a bug?
