pmdk-convert: PMDK pool conversion tool

The pmdk-convert performs a conversion of the specified pool to the newest layout supported by this tool. Currently only libpmemobj(7) pools are supported.

The conversion process is not fail-safe - power interruption may damage the pool. It is advised to have a backup of the pool before conversion.

This tool doesn’t support remote replicas. Before a conversion all remote replicas have to be removed from the pool by pmempool transform command.

See the pmdk-convert man page for current master documentation and examples.

See the blog post about pool conversion for detailed description of the process.
