anyone else know for sure whether locking and client-side
caching can be disabled on a per file basis?

What do *you* mean by locking and caching?

Lustre is a POSIX compliant filesystem. This requires locking during
systemcalls. These locks are cached on the client until revoked by a
server.

You could probably set the number of locks keept on the client to zero
but this will kill performance. This setting is pr. filesystem not
filelevel.

fcntl locking is advisory locking of single files across systemcalls
and is completely orthogonal to intra-systemcall locking.
