Hi Robert, 

we reduced the maximal number of concurrent I/O-requests to the LUNs (at the primary Spycerbox). 
Under heavy I/O load the driver dropped IO-requests, therefore the IO-errors in the logs. 

You can change the maximal number of requests for all StorNext LUNs in the file 
"/usr/cvfs/config/deviceparams": 
nr_requests=32 (default: 8192) 


Regards 
Felix
