Are you asking if you can mount Lustre on a client so that it shows up as a block \
device?  If so, the answer to that is you can't.  Lustre does not appear as a block \
device to the clients.

When we mount a lustre file system on client, the lustre file system does not use \
block device on client side. Instead it uses virtual file system namespace. Mounting \
point will not be shown when we do 'lsblk'. As it only show on 'df-hT'.


How can we mount lustre file system on block such that when we write something with \
lusterfs then it can be shown in block device?? Can share command??
