I use "mv" to move data around the file systems. Permissions are preserved, if you use directory quotas you will need to temporarily remove directory quota from target directory and put it back after the move. After that it's about making sure users are mapping to the right share.
We have two SMB Isilon shares ifs/data/share1 and ifs/data/share2. There are just 6 files in ifs/data/share2 and I want to consolidate shares by migrating files from the second share ifs/data/share2 to the first share i.e ifs/data/share1. In the end, I just want to have one SMB share i.e ifs/data/share1 and get rid of the second one i.e ifs/data/share2. What would be the best migration method? Will there be any migration challenges?
