I made most of the work involved in copying the sparse files on the live 
system.

I was following the instruction on your manual on how to backup and 
restore. I have done a few successful MDT moves before but nothing that 
was done on the live system as it was done in this case.

I have decided to start over on the MDT move and make the move on a 
filesystem that is not live. I will perform another lfsck on the new MDT 
once the movew is completed.

Thanks.
