If there was a network blip and a client was having trouble reconnecting,
do you think reducing the ranks to 1 would allow them to connect? At which
point the ranks could be increased again.
Or is it a matter of the client kernel panicking so any kind of
reconnection won't work?
Thanks

Thanks guys. We are so close to the edge that we may
just take that
chance, usually the only reason an active client has to reconnect is
because we have to bounce the MDS because it's overwhelmed.
