I don't have an answer, but more of an observation. I tend to try and keep one volume per project, assuming they're as big as you say they are. Since you can grow/shrink volumes, it's an easier way to keep things balanced.
We are a University. The number of "projects" seems to be unbounded :-)
And I really want to avoid huge volumes for all the obvioul reasons.
It's not perfect of course... nothing is.
And as for moving CIFS shares, can you do symlinks in CIFS? Robocopy the data to a new volume, turn off CIFS share, finish the copy, then re-create the share pointing to the new location.
You will probably have to kill sessions though... CIFS sucks that way....
Yeah, this is what we are doing now. It sucks.
