This is unusual, to run out of memory. I would have said it relates to having too-large a filesystem, but your filesystem is only 24GB. Looking at the error messages printed, this ENOMEM (-12) error is coming from the kernel. Please check "dmesg" to see if the kernel is failing some memory allocation. You may also want to try this with full Lustre debugging enabled (sysctl -w lnet.debug=-1) and then dump the debug log (lctl dk /tmp/debug) and search for "-12" errors in the logs.
