So, as a SLES user, let me offer my $0.02.

_netdev still works in the sense that it prevents the mount command from
mounting those filesystems at the normal time.  But there's nothing that
comes around and mounts those after the network is up (which drove me
nuts for a while, because the documentation hasn't changed).

As far as I can tell, your only option is to create a (presumably simple)
script that goes and mounts your Lustre filesystem after the network is
up.  Our script is more complicated because it has to wait until the
Infiniband network is up and the storage is available.
