Hi

We have configured the Lustre filesystem and mounted the same on the client. This is being done using IP as highlighted below

Part 2:
Now for the next part, we don't want to use this command: (mount -t lustre 11.11.1.211 at tcp:/lustre /mnt/lustre) as the connection is through IP.
We want to mount a particular block device as a lustre file system. For example, in the image below we have created 2 partitions on the server of 10G each and we are sharing ost partition to the client as a block device.

when we are sharing the block device. This is our client and we have got 10G of /mnt/ost.

After mounting  using mount /dev/nvme0n1 /mnt/lustre/
The filesystem type is ext4 and not lustre as mentioned below.

We want to mount using the lustre filesystem and not ext4.
Is there a need to change the lnet configuration? What else is need to be done?

Cheers, Andreas
