[-- Attachment #1 --] This is the situation: - there's one file system on a RAID controller, somewhat slow and with limited space, let's call it "production" - there's another file system on a big IDE drive - a lot of files are saved on the production file system, but the usefulness of that data shaply declines with time (recent files absolutely need to be kept, but older files are optional) The idea: - create a unionfs that covers both file systems, so that new files are created on the RAID-backed file system, but all files are visible - create a cron job that moves older files from the production file system to the spare file system I've not started it yet (waiting for csup to RELENG_6) but is there any "hidden" reason this shouldn't work? I'm asking because the files will be moved from one part of the unionfs (upper) to the other (lower), on different file systems, probably while concurrently accessed.
