Scenario:  You setup a lustre filesystem (1.6 based) a month ago and things 
work just fine, so you forget about it and lose your notes on it.  Time 
passes, you need to reboot and remount, but can't remember what the actual 
<filesystem> to mount.

So, other than the obvious "write it down when you make it" answer, is there a 
more inherent way to find the mount?  After some digging, it was suggested 
(thanks Cliff) to look in /proc/fs/lustre/mds (on the mds), which resulted in 
the cryptic:

$ ls /proc/fs/lustre/mds
lustre-MDT0000  num_refs
$

On the off chance that was the answer, trial and error (an old friend) wound 
up showing that "lustre" (without the "-MDT0000") is the actual filesystem to 
mount.  I don't think I'd have guessed that without help, so I'm seeking 
another solution (or at least a few steps that seem better thought out).  
It'd be nice if there was an equivalent "showmount -e <lustre>".
