   Ca I just use my 1.1.5.1 file systems on 2.0, and my 2.0 filesystems
   on 1.1.5.1, or is that a no-no.

1.1.5.1 -> 2.0  Yes.  2.0 -> 1.1.5.1 no.  Forward-compatibility is
always a neat trick, but generally impossible.. :-)

   If it is a no-no, how do I convert my 5 disks from one to the other?

You can convert your 1.x filesystems to 2.0 with `fsck -c2'
