Thanks Bob, I had already gone through this path once early in my ovirt lifetime and didn't get it working, I was able to make it happen this time. Thanks. I was hoping for some other method, but this will work, it's going to be slow-going to get everything online this way since we have to re-import everything which essentially copies it all. And with only 1 export domain allowed at a time, and 3 nfs machines, i'm going to have to do them in sequence.. urgghhh
