That's what failout mode it.  How did you try to set it?

I'm not sure if the 1.4.x version with "failout" mode can provide what we
want?

    If you prefer getting IO errors to your application instead of waiting
    for recovery, then you can configure the OST with "failout" using the
    --failout option in 1.4.  Lustre clients will never retry failed RPCs
    in this mode.
