Hi all, I feel obliged to report on my success with migration from 32bit to 64bit platform. Last Sunday I braced myself and migrated 3 servers (one master and two slaves) with approximately 100GB data each by simply rsyncing the data files. It took about 1 hour total downtime.

Probably not AFAIK it should work in theory if you have no floating point columns but I would not try it. Why cant you take a dump, you can do it table by table, you will have some downtime though. One option might be to use a 64bit slave and make that the master and then add more 64 slaves.
