Consider a fileserver with the following partitions on it:
/vicepa (in production use) /vicepb (in production use) /nextpa (totally empty) Assume that all the AFS processes will be shutdown on this fileserver for a few hours (for unrelated reasons). As far as AFS is concerned, would it be safe and reasonable to use rsync to duplicate all files on /vicepa to /nextpa, dismount both partitions, and then mount what was /nextpa as /vicepa? Or is that playing with fire, such that it'd be much safer to move the AFS volumes via standard AFS commands while AFS is running? It also happens that every volume on /vicepa is replicated on multiple AFS fileservers. (some are RO's for volumes where the RW is on this /vicepa, and some are RO's for volumes where the RW is on other fileservers). This is not an urgent issue. I'm just wondering. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = dro...@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or g...@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
