Say you have 2 file servers, and a bunch of client machines pointing to samba shares on server1. Now assume you need to migrate the data from server1 to server2, preferably without having to reconfigure all the clients to point to server2.
Is there a way to do this that isn't terrible? (ignoring the extra bandwidth/server use for a second)
One idea was to NFS mount server2's data on server1 then reshare via samba, but some light googling revealed that to be a very bad(tm) idea. Same appears to be the case for resharing a samba mount.
