[Lustre-discuss] Is there possibility to protect lustre servers from lustre clients?

[WANG Lu]

Hi Gang, 
   Lustre provides root squash, you can map root account to a different nid:gid so that root on client can not destroy any data belongs to users. 
   See more detailes at: http://wiki.lustre.org/manual/LustreManual18_HTML/LustreSecurity.html#50651270_64726

Cheers, 
Lu
