Thanks for everyone who responded. waaaaaaaay too many to list though
:)
anywya.. I was given a few different ways to do this, the fastest, in
my opinion, was a vdump | vrestore...
We tested it by moving the mail spool file directory to a different
filesystem. it took about 2.5 hours to move 8gig...which
is...well...ok i suppose. :P
Thanks for everyones help :)

Subject: Moving a filesystem...
I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to move a 17 gig filesystem
to a new server..but...with as little downtime as possible. The
filesystem is a 17G UFS LSM Striped filesystem....and its going to be
moved to a 40G Advfs LSM Striped filesystem.
We've done a cp -Rp /source /target and also tried
cd fromdir; tar cf - . | (cd todir; tar xpf -)
These take entirely too long... Anyone have any ideas on how to move
this filesystem with the least ammount of downtime?
Thanks in advance
