Chuck:

It does sound like you are having the same problem as Andrew.  Which linux
version are you running?  Andrew is running  3.2.14.

I am working with Andrew to resolve this problem.  It definitely seems to
be a kernel module issue where incorrect metadata is being kept.

I was not able to reproduce the problem on older kernels using OrangeFS
2.8.5, so I assume the problem is some incompatibility with the newer
kernels.

Please let me know which kernel you are using.

Thanks,
Becky Ligon
