[2012-04-07 02:08:24][c5-0c0s5n2]LustreError: 29099:0:(events.c:198:client_bulk_callback()) event type 0, status -5, desc ffff880627c24000

The error is detected on both client and server; the server expects the client to retry but it doesn't. In the mean time, the OSS issues a lock callback to the client, but the client does not respond because it is waiting for the I/O to complete. Eventually the OSS evicts the client. Lustre does not retry the bulk op when it detects the error.
