The update to 3.4.0 beta2 was very smooth. My 3.3.3 setup was very
basic so my testing was not extremely extensive, but I wanted to make
sure I could still override NFS mount options (I could) to ensure use
of RDMA.
Now I'd like to downgrade, but that was not as simple as I'd hoped. I
could not find any definitive docs on the subject so pieced together
the steps.

Attached are the two engine-cleanup logs from both attempts. The
first (from 20140211) was answering "Yes" only to "remove Engine DB
content". The second (from 20140212, today) was "Yes" to "remove all
components".
Thanks
