Excerpts from ticket #18213
How to set RPL to on so on next filesystem restart where the conversion will take place.
# umount /media/spycerbox
(cvadmin > stop 1)
# cvupdatefs -L on spycerbox

Filesystem spycerbox is set for fast reverse path lookup conversion.
# service cvfs restart
Mount will fail, monitor /var/log/messages for conversion status, will sit at "RPL_Upgrade: 0% complete (1 of 5103 IEL blocks)" for hours then show the rest of the % complete).
RPL conversion time:
5.2 million files took about 9 hours or 0.5 million files per hour.
1.4 million files took about 3 hours 15 min or 0.43 million files per hour.
These numbers are based on SSD Meta drives.
