[Lustre-discuss] [HPDD-discuss] Unable to move MDS using procedure in the manual

[Kalpak Shah]

Which version of Lustre is this? File based backup / restore does not work
in 2.x. OI scrub which rebuilds the object index is available from Lustre
2.3 onwards. So file based backup / restore will work from 2.3 onwards.

Regards,
Kalpak
