Lukas,
If you are hitting a crash on a kernel level prior to 3.10.0-1062.18.1, I recommend reporting it now. Depending on the nature of the problem, we may end up requesting recreating the problem with traces enabled.
For crashes hit on 3.10.0-1062.18.1 or later, I recommend waiting for the

All,
A problem has been identified with Spectrum Scale when running on RHEL 7.7 and kernel 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7. While a fix is being currently developed, customers should not move up to this kernel level.
The new kernel was issued on March 17 via the following errata:
Hello,
I noticed this bug, it took about 10 minutes to crash.
However, I'm seeing similar NULL pointer dereference even with older kernels,
That dereference does not happen always in GPFS code, sometimes outside in NFS
or elsewhere, however it looks familiar. I have many crashdumps about this.
Should I report then or just wait to fix 18.1 problem and see whether older
ones are gone as well?

Will this impact *any* version of Spectrum Scale?

And are you sure it is present only in -1062.18.1.el7 kernel? I think it is
present in all -1062.* kernels..

Lukas,
There was one particular kernel change introduced in 3.10.0-1062.18.1 that has triggered a given set of crashes. It's possible, though, that there is a lingering problem affecting older levels of 3.10.0-1062. I believe that crashes occurring on older kernels should be treated as separate
