RE: move data to new disk

rhys How much downtime can you get? Do you want to reorganise the data? How much space have you got? How much data have you got? Do you have any LVM software installed (either as part of the OS or separate)? Are you using raw or cooked space? Are you using LINKS or true paths to your chunks? Using LVM or Informix mirroring to copy the data followed by breaking the mirror is probably the easiest and offers minimal interruption to your users. Building a new instance and then using dbexport/dbimport is also simple but needs down time and will require all access mechanisms to be amended. Other methods are available (as per migration guide) but we need more information really.
