Hi Marc Yes, copying the data to a freshly created fileset and unlinking/renaming/relinking is our solution; it was always a long shot expecting to be able to convert it ๐

If you have a set of files within one range of inode numbers, say 3000-5000 and now you want to move some of them to a new range of inode numbers, say 7000-8000, you're going to have to create that new range as a new independent fileset, and then move (copy!) the files to the new fileset. And then rename directories so that you can once again refer to the files by the pathnames that they "used to" have. During the copying and renaming, you would have to make sure there are no applications trying to access those files and directories.

My gut says no but in the spirit of not making unnecessary work I wanted to ask. Also, the documentation states that I should see a โdpndโ next to a dependent fileset when I run mmlsfileset with -L; this is not the case even though the parent fileset is root in this case.
