I'm trying to take a qtree and move it into its own flexvol (7 mode). It has millions of small files, so robocopy or ndmpcopy are taking too long for the final pre-cutover sync of the migration.
So far, the best option I can come up with is to use qtree snapmirror to copy it into a qtree in a new volume and share that qtree, however this isn't clean, and qtree snapmirror still has to span the filesystem. My other considered option was to use a volume snapmirror and then delete everything but the qtree that I need to keep on the destination volume once it's been split off, however this still leaves me with a cifs share pointing to a qtree instead of a volume. At least it would be a block copy instead of a filesystem copy, though.
Anyone have any ideas?
