You may be able to just copy the lfs_migrate script from a 2.12.x client, I=
 don't think it has any dependencies on kernel or lfs features in the 2.12 =
release.

I would of course recommend that you test it is working properly on some te=
st hard-linked files before running it on the whole filesystem.
