Hi. You didn't say what your kernel version was. Check dmesg, you'll likely get a better reason for the failure there. It's possible that the force_over_8tb option is needed and not passed along appropriately. Check out Lustre bugzilla 24432 and attachment 32731 which honors the force_over_8tb mount option. It'll be included in 1.8.6.
