Can one of you explain the need for this anyway ?

Just thought I'd share a caveat that we ran into in the recent past in upgrading from 5.2.x to 5.3.x.
5.3 (?) introduced two new options, wafl.convert_ucode and wafl.create_ucode, to convert directories upon access and create directories from scratch with unicode bits, respectively, even if accessed/created via an NFS client.
"For example, converting a directory of 100,000 files takes the filer about 9 minutes on a netapp f540."
This conversion took close to a day and a half on a 630 full of hundreds of thousands of files of gzipped archive data. Note that you can monitor the conversion taking place by watching sysstat - there's a steady 3-400 disk reads per second going on while the conversion is being done.
