The code used by the liblustre mount (lustre/lib/lustre/super.c) would be the place to start for a userspace solution. That said, I don't know that this is trivial work. You would likely be much better off to do something like ssh over to the MGS node and look at the /proc/fs/lustre/mgs/MGS/live/ directory to list the currently available filesystems. > On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 2:27 AM, Andreas Dilger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sep 14, 2008 11:39 -0400, Mag Gam wrote: > >> Is it possible to query a MGS by a client who does not have a lustre > >> filesystem mounted?
