I think you have seen how I got it working, but I guess this is not the way 
one should do it. Probably it would be better to first deactivate this OST on 
all clients and then to mount the newly created ost with the old index 
(instead of brute-force deleting the client config file as I did).

For OST backup there is as far as I know a clusterfs-modified star (*).

Cheers,
Bernd

PS (*): Btw, did someone already tell Joerg his star was modified? I just 
would be curious about his reaction ;) 
(To understand my question you need to know about discussions with Joerg on 
LKML, Debian and cd/dvd-related mailing lists).
