This will be easiest if you have one raid per server. There's nothing storage-specific or fs-specific about the servers's storage directory, so you can just tar it up on the old raid and unpack it on the new one. - stop pvfs server - tar up pvfs storage dir on old raid - unpack on new raid - set things up so the new raid is mounted where the old one was (or adjust the server config file - restart pvfs server That should do it. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-users
