 Naively, I'd hope that the new machine will pick

 so I won't have to run any gmirror or gstripe commands

 into it.

 Can anyone who has done this before give me
 a few tips on how to plan appropriately for
 such a move?

The only problem I have run into is forgetting
to load the appropriate modules on the new
machine.

I would assume, as well, that crossing up your
namespace would be bad.  It actually sounds
like a fun experiment to try some day.
