B.2. GFS to GFS2 Conversion Procedure


Use the following procedure to convert a GFS file system to a GFS2 file system.
  1. On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, make a backup of your existing GFS file system.
  2. Unmount the GFS file system from all nodes in the cluster.
  3. Execute the gfs_fsck command on the GFS file system to ensure there is no file system corruption.
  4. Execute gfs2_convert gfsfilesystem. The system will display warnings and confirmation questions before converting gfsfilesystem to GFS2.
  5. Upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The following example converts a GFS file system on block device /dev/shell_vg/500g to a GFS2 file system.
[root@shell-01 ~]#  /root/cluster/gfs2/convert/gfs2_convert /dev/shell_vg/500g

Examining file system..................
This program will convert a gfs1 filesystem to a gfs2 filesystem.
WARNING: This can't be undone.  It is strongly advised that you:

   1. Back up your entire filesystem first.
   2. Run gfs_fsck first to ensure filesystem integrity.
   3. Make sure the filesystem is NOT mounted from any node.
   4. Make sure you have the latest software versions.
