Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of migrating our mailboxes from one nfs server to
another. I'm trying to figure out a nice way to perform this migration
without having to stop exim. I'm thinking of something along the lines
of exim_locking all the mailboxes then somehow unmounting them, mounting
the new filesystem and then unlocking them. however I don't think
this'll work as exim_lock possibly stores the lock on the nfs
filesystem. once the old nfs is unmounted the locks will fail.

Can a transport/router be temporarily locked?

Has anyone done anything like this before, or am I looking at downing
the whole system for the duration?

-Cheers Max.
