I'am trying to define a procedure for me how to upgrade our lustre 1.6.6 running vanilla 2.6.22.19 kernels (gentoo distribution) to lustre 1.8.3 with SLES11 kernel 2.6.27.39. Having said that i did it on a client and it works for the client side. Before sending 100TB data down the drain i want to make sure that the general approach of upgrading "sounds" reasonable.

I cannot not oversee myself what e2fs versions are really needed, as there are different packages for SLES and RH, so i try to stick to the docs as close as poss. For upgrading i understand that i need to use "tunefs.lustre" et al and i'am not sure if these commands trigger some of the e2fsprogs. <Quote> Changes from v1.8.2 to v1.8.3 Recommended e2fsprogs version: 1.41.10-sun2 </Quote> Thanks for your help.
