The distro I'm using (Proxmox/Debian) broke backward compatibility with
their latest major upgrade, essentially you have to reinstall. I'm taking
advantage of that to improve my installations as well - switch to ZFS root
etc.

Not going to do it for weeks yet, still in planning stage.

thanks,

Okay, so re-installation is going to change root partition, but the 
brick data is going to remain intact, am I correct? Are you going to 
stop the volume, re-install all the machines in cluster and bring them 
back up, or you want to do it one machine at a time keeping the volume 
active?
