[Lustre-discuss] persistent client re-connect failure

follow up - rebooting the client fixed this issue - I could not remove the
kernel modules (lustre_rmmod) and restart lnet even though the filesystem was
unmounted, presumably because there was still some transaction trying to be
played out.
is there a better way to do this?
