We're looking to do this here to get snapdiff backups working. For

anyone that's made this change:

- Did you actually have to restart the filer after changing the volume

language?

- Did the change seem be visible to users at all?

Our primary concern is if we change the language on our volumes and

then someone comes back and complains that their filenames are all

garbled up now. Hearing from folks who have made this change for

this would be useful.

Hello, I've not tried it on a volume with user data on it yet - but all the
warnings you get talk about NFS - which we don't use.

Although it says do a reboot and a halt for a wafl check, it appears to
apply OK without one.

I have a call in with IBM on this (from an N series point of view) before I
apply it to any user data areas. Will let you know the outcome.

When snapdiff is working its DAMN fast!
