Hi,
We've been using Mogilefs for a long time now and it's been working out
great! (the "new" drain/rebalance stuff is awesome!). Quick question for
anybody who has tried this.
We are migrating datacenters and I was wondering if it would be possible
to "migrate" disks. For example:
* mark dev1 as down
* copy (or physically move) the dev1 disk to the other datacenter.
* change the host that dev1 is on (devices table)
* mark dev1 as up?
Any experience or input would be appreciated. Thanks!

There might be an edge case I don't know of, but that should work... I'd
actually recommend marking the _host_ and devices as down and moving it
wholesale, if you have enough hosts.
And I assume your new/old DC's are connected via L2 somehow? There'll be
a lot of cross traffic if you simply mark them as up again at the new
DC, while continuing to run at the old one.
