+@ lustrecomm.timeout contents of /proc/sys/lustre/timeout
+The time period that a client waits for a server to complete an RPC
+(default in 1.6 is 100s). Servers wait half this time for a normal
+client RPC to compelte and a quarter of this time for a single
+bulk request to complete. The client pings recoverable targets
+(MDS and OSTs) at one quarter of the timeout, and the server
+waits on and a half times the timeout before evicting a client
+for being "stale". (source: Lustre 1.6 Operations Manual)
+
+@ lustrecomm.ldlm_timeout contents of /proc/sys/lustre/ldlm_timeout
+This is the time period for which a server will wait for a client
+to reply to an initial AST (lock cancellation request). The default
+is 20s for an OST and 6s for an MDS. (source: Lustre 1.6 Operations
+Manual)
