I think I know the answer to this one, but then, I don't know how much I don't know <G>.
I have a Samba server that runs 24X7. It is rarely used at night, but still has Windows shares active. The /home directory is located off the / directory (dasda1). It needs more space. I've created a LVM with a directory name of /home2. I plan on copying the /home directory to /home2, rename /home to /homeold, and rename /home2 to /home. Simple. What is Samba going to think about this? Do I need to cycle Samba, and have all the currently connected users, reconnect? Or as long as Samba isn't trying to access a file during this period of time, would it care? Part of this is trying to decide how much notification I have to give the end users, and there are a couple "servers" that also have Samba shares. I don't know how to reconnect them, other than cycling those servers, which, then requires additional notification. On my test system, I moved the Samba /home directory to a LVM setup. No problem. But I didn't have any currently accessed shares at that time (poor test plan). Thanks for any input and direction.
