FWIW: I have a spare fileserver here at RPI, which has a vicepa partition that's about half the size of the partitions on our main fileservers. So I've used the tactic of moving the busiest 5-10% of non-replicated volumes on one production fileserver to that spare fileserver, then '-salvagedir -all' both the production & spare fileservers, and then move the volumes back. That way the busiest volumes are unavailable for a relatively short amount of time, and very few people are effected by the fileserver which is unavailable for the longer period of time.
