If you have two volumes that will be merged on to one F840 and they have the same name, I would suggest attaching only the volume you'd like to use as the root of the F840 first. Then follow the procedure at the link below. After the F840 is up and running on the new volume then add the second volume. When the second vol0 is added the system will recognize it as a foreign volume and leave it offline. At that point you can rename it and bring it online with the other volume.

Is it possible to "merge" the disk shelves from two or more F740's onto a single F840 without losing the data? It sounds like it might be as simple as having to rename volumes (to avoid having multiple /vol/vol0's) when attaching the shelves to the F840. Has anyone tried this? Any requirements or caveats to watch out for? -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
