FYI, there *is* some upgrade support within RedHat GFS that might just work. The disk format for OpenGFS hasn't changed (has it, Brian?) since OpenGFS branched off from GFS a few years ago, *except* for OpenGFS' external journals (RH GFS does *not* support external journals!). A lot of disk format within RH GFS has not changed in a very long time, as well. There's code within RH GFS to upgrade from some significantly earlier versions, and it looked to me like it might just work (if you're not using OpenGFS external journals) for upgrading OpenGFS, but I'm not going to say for sure, having not tried it. If you're interested in trying the upgrade, I'd suggest asking on the RH linux-cluster mailing list. Ken Preslan is the best expert on that. Of course, as Brian suggests, the safest path is to archive/remake-the-filesystem/restore. If you decide to try it (maybe on a separate OpenGFS filesystem), let us know if it works. -- Ben -- > -----Original Message----- > From: opengfs-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:opengfs-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf > Of Brian Jackson > Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 12:05 PM > To: opengfs-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [ogfs-users]openGFS to GFS > > On 12:26:10 am 11/20/04 "Hugo \"Lord Vega\" Samayoa" > <lordvega@xxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > Is there an upgrade path from openGFS to RH's GFS?
