Thanks for everyone's replies.

Hasan Atasoy gave me the solution that seems to fit my needs at this time
and that was with the mount -o server_only command. I tried this and it
mounts the filesystem r/w on the server that you run the command on and r/o
on the other server. I will have to do some work in the CAA profiles
scripts, but I knew I would have to do something in them anyways.

Original question:

I have been asked a question by one of my clients that I couldn't answer
and was wondering if anyone on this list has done this before.

They would like to have a mount point, say /test, rw on one cluster
member and ro on the other cluster member. Can this be done? I have mounted
the
filesystem ro, but that ended up being ro on both members.

Another question they have asked is if they can mount, /test just on one
member and not see it as mounted on the other member.

They are upgrading from a 4.0f cluster and their application is tied to
certain restrictions is the reason they want to know about the mount
points.

I'm running TruCluster 5.1b with pk4.
