Responding to your overall situation, someone recently posted on this list
a very clever way to move a large database to a new server with minimum
downtime. As I recall, it involved moving the data, then using snapshots to
keep the new copy syncronized until you are ready to cut over. Unfortunately
I didn't keep a copy of this method. Perhaps someone else on the list kept
it.
