[gpfsug-discuss] Synchronization/Restore of file systems

[Jonathan Buzzard]

As promised last year I having just completed a storage upgrade, I have 
sanitized my scripts and put them up on Github for other people to have 
a look at the methodology I use in these sorts of scenarios.

This time the upgrade involved pulling out all the existing disks and 
fitting large ones then restoring from backup, rather than synchronizing 
to a new system, but the principles are the same.

Bear in mind the code is written in Perl because it's history is ancient 
now and with few opportunities to test it in anger, rewriting it in the 
latest fashionable scripting language is unappealing.
