Other Solution Notes

Use the spectre-meltdown-checker tool to check the storage server, and the results are shown as follows: 1.CVE-2017-5753 aka 'Spectre Variant 1, bounds check bypass'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: Load fences, __user pointer sanitization) 2.CVE-2017-5715 aka 'Spectre Variant 2, branch target injection'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Enhanced IBRS + IBPB are mitigating the vulnerability) 3.CVE-2017-5754 aka 'Variant 3, Meltdown, rogue data cache load'>STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (your CPU vender reported your CPU model as not vulnerable)

Dataflow

All the clients mounted 6 file systems from the storage server as follows: server:/storage/nvme1 /nfs/nvme1 nfs defaults 0 0 server:/storage/nvme2 /nfs/nvme2 nfs defaults 0 0 server:/storage/nvme3 /nfs/nvme3 nfs defaults 0 0 server:/storage/nvme4 /nfs/nvme4 nfs defaults 0 0 server:/storage/nvme5 /nfs/nvme5 mfs defaults 0 0 server:/storage/nvme6 /nfs/nvme6 mfs defaults 0 0
