I'm always wary of making wholesale changes like this. I prefer to bring in one or two disklist entries at a time. Well actually 1 or 2 from a couple of hosts. Then 1 or 2 more from all hosts. But then I very seldom have to make recoveries (lucky me) and I'm not too concerned about the promptness of the transition nor having an absolute changeover date. -- Jon H.
