Hi John,

This appears to be some possible HW failure. Check all diagnostic logs and verify that everything is working without fault.

Subject: [Lustre-discuss] ldiskfs_valid_block_bitmap
Hello Folks,
	We've been hitting a recurring issue that flips seemingly random OSTs into read-only mode.  This has happened numerous times over the last month or two and we can't correlate it to any back-end storage events.  We umount the OST, e2fsck and remount.  e2fsck *does* find bad blocks and an e2fsck does fix the issue on the specific LUN (unlike some bugs, ie: 23959).  Any ideas where we might start looking?
