Exactly what are you looking for?

The -N option to lsof is nothing special (adds no NFS specific data) other 
than displaying only NFS files. If this is what you're looking for then you 
can simply give lsof the mountpoint to your lustre filesystem:

 "lsof /path/to/lustre" (Note: trailing / not allowed)

and only open files on that filesystem will be shown. Without any options lsof 
will show open files on any type of filesystem.
