Cause

The application associated with this error may be running into host-side resource contention with requesting too many files at one time.

Solution

A web search for the error points to a possible kernel bug on the Linux OS. Additionally, the customer may try isolating the application responsible, and look into associated bugs with it. If neither of those 2 avenues work, then further Axiom logs may be needed to triage this further from a storage standpoint.

Usually, replacing or reconfiguring the application has solved the issue.
