This looks a must fail test, we'd try to land the fix asap.

This test still fails with sync after the write.

[James Nunez (Inactive)]

John - I have two OSSs with two OSTs each.

Since there is already a sync on ost1 after the write, I'll try the sync on the client.

another on master:

James, are the 4 OSTs on the same OSS?

If you have a setup that reproduces this issue handy could you try add sync on the line after dd?
