Hi Scott

This refers to the file system format which is independent of the NSD version 
number. File systems can be upgraded but all the NSDs are still at V1. For 
instance, here is an NSD I know is still V1:

[root@gpfs2-gpfs01 ~]# grep msa0319VOL2 volmaps
msa0319VOL2   mpathel   (3600c0ff0001497e259ebac5001000000) dm-19     14T  sdad 
 0[active][ready] sdft  1[active][ready] sdam  2[active][ready] sdgc  
3[active][ready]
[root@gpfs2-gpfs01 ~]# mmfsadm test readdescraw /dev/dm-19 | grep " original 
format"
    original format version 1001, cur version 1600 (mgr 1600, helper 1600, 
mnode 1600)

The file system version is current however.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [gpfsug-discuss] NSD V2 vs V1 - how can you tell?


# mmfsadm test readdescraw /dev/dm-14 | grep " original format"

    original format version 1600, cur version 1700 (mgr 1700, helper 1700, 
mnode 1700)

The harder part is what version number = v2 and what matches version 1. The 
real answer is there is not a simple one, it is not really v1 vs v2 it is what 
feature you are interested in. Just one small example


4K Disk SECTOR support started in 1403
Dynamically enabling quotas started in 1404
