Oliver - Sorry for the delay, I guess this got lost in the shuffle.
You will need a recent xfsprogs version for this to work, there was a
bug in xfs_db that broke the script.
Also, this script has not been heavily tested, and there are still some
known problems with v2 logs, so please back up any important data
first...
There is a man page for the script, but it's out of date, so here are
the relevant bits:
[root@lite root]# ./xfs_chver
usage: xfs_chver [-f] -a
xfs_chver [-f] [ -l version ] devname [devname ...]
The -f option causes the xfs_chver command to reduce error checking and
create file(s) which can be passed to xfs_db. These files are created in
the current directory in the form <device>.xfs_chver. These files can be
applied to the filesystem, invoke the following command:
xfs_db -x <device> < <device>.xfs_chver
The -l option selects the log version, 1 or 2.
-a may be used instead of devname, to change all xfs devices found
in /etc/fstab
