There are more than a few ways to do this..but all at the root involve backuping your data, destroying the large volume, and rebuilding <x> smaller volumes.
Then restoring that data selectively into whatever volumes you want what data..and rebuilding your /etc/exports and on your clients the shares/mount points so it all still looks like it did before.
You could backup to tape, dump to a file on another filer..etc..but theres no easy way out.

I had a 550 GB volume on my 740 Filer and need to split into two during my plan to migrate the stuff on a new 760 Filer. Can somebody suggest a nice way out...? prem

Does anyone have a recommendation for a console connection server? We have 14 filers and growing and I'm looking for some centralized, easy serial connection box. I have used Annex in the past for UNIX, but thought maybe some folks out there in toasterland might have some ideas to share.
Livingston^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hucent Portmasters (2e) also work well and might be a little cheaper than an Annex.
On the pricy side, we have a Cisco 2511, and it does a very nice job.
