That's what I was afraid of.  OK, shelve that option, and call IBM for the efix.

(The backstory: IBM announced a security issue in GPFS:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1009639&myns=s033&mynp=OCSTXKQY&mynp=OCSWJ00&mync=E&cm_sp=s033-_-OCSTXKQY-OCSWJ00-_-E

A security vulnerability has been identified in IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS) that 
could allow a remote authenticated attacker to overflow a buffer and execute 
arbitrary code on the system with root privileges or cause the server to crash. 
This vulnerability is only applicable if:
- file encryption is being used
- the key management infrastructure has been compromised
