[Ocfs-users] Moving ocfs file system to a new SAN

[Robin Burridge]

Hi,

We are currently rolling over our SAN (FC4700 to CX700) and have now 
reached the data migration stage. I need to move the data files on my 
current /u01 ocfs file system (on FC4700) to a new ocfs file system (on 
CX700) which I want to keep as the same /u01 mount point on the hosts.

With a normal file system I would just mount the new file system to a 
temporary mount point, copy the data, unmount the old file system and 
mount the new one on the correct mount point. However when creating ocfs 
file systems using mkfs.ocfs the -m switch is used to specify the mount 
point.

My question is that if a file system is created using -m switch of /u01 
  can this ocfs file system then be mounted on a host on a different 
mount point that already has an existing ocfs mounted on /u01?

I can of course restore the data files from the backup tape but I'd 
rather copy from disk to disk.

Thanks

Robin
