Interesting, we use GPFS over IPoIB and upgraded to RHEL 6.6 in early
November and haven't seen any issues at all (and with a lot of
bioinfomatics users we'd notice problems pretty quickly).

Is your IB running in connected mode or datagram mode?

We're in connected mode everywhere because of our BG/Q.

All the best,
Chris
