I need to move my RVM and LOG partitions to a different disk drive and I would like to expand the RVM size at the same time. What is the procedure? I'm thinking about taking down the clients, using backup to dump the volumes to a unix partition, reinitializing the server with the new RVM and LOG partitions and sizes, and then restoring the backed-up volumes. Will that work? Is that the easiest method? I currently only have a single server running. Can the RVM data sizes differ on different servers? If so, would it work to add a second server with a larger RVM data size, take down the old one, reinit it with a larger RVM size, bring it back up, and use the ls -r method to regenerate its local copies of the volumes using the larger RVM? I'm currently running Coda version 5.3.7-1 on RedHat Linux 6.2 Is it worth trying to also upgrade to 5.3.9 during this process, or just wait for RedHat 7.0? -- Douglas C.
