[lustre-discuss] "Text file busy" error

[E.S. Rosenberg]

The servers are lustre 2.5.3 on CentOS 6.5 from the official RPMs

The problem was tested on 2 clients, all running Debian with a kernel we
built.
- kernel 3.17.8, according to /proc/fs/lustre/version - 2.3.64, the
userspace programs (mount etc) are 2.5.3
- kernel 4.1.6, /proc/fs/lustre/version - 2.3.64, userspace programs 2.7.52

Wow, that's really a mess when you try to use mainline kernel.....

BTW according to LU-6232 it was not solved.

Thanks,
Eli
