The underlying device handling is unrelated to Lustre. In that sense it
is just a local filesystem.

Yes, one mount per cluster.

What exactly is your question here? We use pacemaker/stonith to do the
fencing job.
What exactly do you want to clean up? The device is recovered by
journals, Lustre goes into recovery mode, clients reconnect, locks are
updated and incomplete transactions resend.
