With Lustre it is possible to mount the same filesystem multiple times on a single client. To the server each mount appears as a separate client (separate locks, inodes, cache, etc) so we can run "distributed" fsx coherency tests just by giving multiple paths to the same file. This may not work in the same way with all distributed filesystems, but it is still a useful test mode for those filesystems that can work in this way.
