upgrading the superblock version

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hello.

I'd like to know if it is possible to upgrade the superblock model version of an array, from 0.9 to 1.0 for example.

Theoretically it should be possible, I think. What would be the safe steps to do it?

I imagine something like:
- zeroing the current superblocks in all the array disks;
- (optionally) assembling the array in "build" mode, ignoring superblocks;
- updating the superblocks using the desired version.

If that isn't possible, then:
- zeroing the current superblocks in all the array disks;
- creating a new array with those disks, using the desired superblock version and --assume-clean;
- would this lead to the loss of the partition table inside the array?

Has anyone done such a thing?
How should I proceed?

Thanks,
Vasco.
