Hello all,
I have a DL360 G4 1U server that does a wonderfull job with dovecot horde, Xmail and OpenLDAP for a company and serving about 40 acouunts.
The machine is wonderful. I am very happy with it. However, I am running out of disk space. It has two times 76Gb Drives in RAID1 (disk mirroring) and the capacity has reached 82%.
I am starting of getting nervous.
Does anyone know of a painless way to migrate the entire contents directly to another pair of 146Gb SCSI RAID1 disks ?
I thought of downtime and using clonezilla, but my last experience with it was questionable. I remember having problems declaring disk re-sizing from the smaller capacity drives to the larger ones.

Any help would be appreciated or any ideas you might have.

rsync should do the job
depending on your whole machine setup it might only be only umount old /home and mount new(bigger) /home after sync ,perhaps with tmp store elsewhere ( for sure you have to have a plan before doing..)
but your dovecot is very outdated, i would recommend get up to new hard and software/os install, and then migrate to new machine
