Eric/Team:

First.- Congratulations for release 1.2 to U and your partners in xfs-dev  
It's working very well in our "test" server, before to put in production. 
(yes, I couldn;t test pre-releases before, because I was in Chile with my 
family taking a 'reset' and doing junk job :/ )

Based in your answer to this Thread, so the only way for now it's 
rebuilding the whole partition with mkfs to obtain v2?. I don't have 
external log. I used only extended log in the same partition to create my 
FS before ( mkfs -t xfs -l size=32768b ...)

Thanks 

vene.-
