Abstract
System administrators are able to move data between volumes to better utilize system resources. As data is being moved, clients are able to access and modify the data from the source volume. The apparatus moves the data by repeatedly traversing the file system on the source volume and copying files to the destination volume. Modifications made by clients to the source volume are logged. Once the data has been moved the destination volume is updated with all client modifications.
