Like I said, I knew the answer to this one (i.e. shutdown Samba), but I hoping for a quick and dirty way, of doing the conversion with Samba still up. Well, once this is done, I can then add disks to the LVM on the fly. Just hate to have to do the scheduling of downtime (users and servers) when I

If you do not stop the samba service you run a risk of files being accessed during the move, and this could lead to corruption of the new files. As recommended before, you should be able to copy the bulk of the data without shutting down the service. With the bulk of the data mirrored on the new L
