    Description

      In my testing of DNE2 I'm seeing problems when creating 1 million+ files per directory. Clearing out the debug logs I see the problem is only on the client side. When running a application I see:

      command line used: /lustre/sultan/stf008/scratch/jsimmons/mdtest -I 100000 -i 5 -d /lustre/sultan/stf008/scratch/jsimmons/dne2_4_mds_md_test/shared_1000k_10
      Path: /lustre/sultan/stf008/scratch/jsimmons/dne2_4_mds_md_test

      After the test failed any attempt to remove the files create by these test fail. When I attempt to remove the files I see the following errors in dmesg.
