I'm migrating a bunch of volumes from a 7 mode filer, to CDOT.

For various reasons, I'd _like_ to split these volumes apart prior to migration - mostly around filecount. We have a few qtrees with really high file counts, and generally they don't make sense to group together anyway. 

So - what I'm thinking is:

QSM from source qtree to 'staging' volume within filer. 
VSM from staging volume to CDOT TDP volume. 

Should I be able to do this, or is there a better way? 

Ideally - I'd like to avoid a 'double cutover' scenario. My 'plan B' involves just creating about 10 replicas of the source volume, and - post cutover - delete all the stuff I didn't need from each of them, but this seems a suboptimal solution. (I think I have the same problem, in that I can't lower the inodes of the volume, so I'll have 10 volumes with 100M+ inodes, instead of 10 with considerably fewer)

It certainly seems like a TDP snapmirror doesn't work when a QSM is inbound to the volume in question - but a break and resync _might_ do the trick? (trying to do  that now)

Is there a better approach I should be taking?
