I don't think it's really an xCAT issue but an underlying CPIO issue. I've seen this as fact in RedHat/CentOS 4.2-ish era all the way up to the current 5.9. It's always been "randomish" and I think is more reproducible during high loads of traffic.

I've seen it more recently on Hitachi storage too. Thanks! I'm looking into the possibility of just using squashfs as a work around for this issue. What's even stranger is on a different CentOS 5/xCAT 2.6 cluster using NFS storage on a NetApp, I'm not seeing this problem. I am on CentOS 6/xCAT 2.7 on Isilon. NFS mount options appear to be identical between the two. Wondering if the CPIO version may have something to do with it.
