We are exploring ways to have a directory tree within one of our lustre file systems set to be read only, while the rest of the tree remains in a read/write state. Since the directory is at the base of the lustre file system one thought is to mount that
branch with the ro flag, and the other branchs would be mounted as rw.</div>

Are there any complications or issues that come with having branches of the same lustre file system mounted on the same system at the same time?<br>

In short we are looking to go from:<br>
