converting a directory to a qtree

Hi,

Has anyone any experience of converting a directory to a qtree (we want to make use of the qtree to qtree snapmirror features in DOT 6.2 and greater)

There's a doc on NOW which gives two ways either do a copy, which requires enough free space (which we don't have) or to use the built in ndmpcopy feature of DOT.

There's also the possibility of doing a 'mv' on each file, although I'd be a bit concerned that this might leave the filesystem in a less than optiomal state on the filer.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has done this, especially about throughput (The directories we need to convert have approx 150G of mail in them, so lots of small files, on a 840C)

Thanks, GB
