This probably belongs on the Lustre mailing list. Regardless, I don't
think you want to do that (do you?). It'll prevent any client side
caching, and more importantly, I don't think it's a case that's been
tested/optimized. What're you trying to acheive?

Also, just curious, where's the CPU time being spent? What process and/or
kernel thread? What are the top entries listed when you run "perf top"?
