I suppose that you mean in code like this:

275     # Get the current real device name, if possible.
276     # (specified devname could be -L or -U...)
277     case "$FSTYPE" in
278     nfs4|nfs|smbfs|cifs|glusterfs|ceph|tmpfs|overlayfs|none)
279         : ;;

We can add "lustre" to various lists of this kind.

I'm not sure I follow. Sorry, no lustre expert here.

ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem is essentially mount/umount, so, if we
agree on the terminology, it is always client-side.
