[Lustre-discuss] Splitting lustre space

[David Noriega]

Ok, so I could do
mount --bind /lustre/home /home
mount --bind /lustre/groups /groups

Is this a generally accepted practice with Lustre? This just seems so
much like a nifty trick, but if its what the community uses, then ok.
But ultimately if I wanted two separate filesystems, I would need more
hardware? An OST can't be put into a general 'pool' for use between
the two?
