            This fix was included in the 2.1.4 release. Ihara has already ported the fix to b1_8 and that patch can be applied anywhere that needs it.

            Hi.
            Another DDN customer is concerning about this issue. Running Lustre 2.1.3
            Any feedback if this patch will be backported to 2.1 and 1.8 versions?

            Thanks
            Carlos.

            Although this was already closed, we needed this backport patches to b2_1 and b1_8 for diskless lustre environment.
