Thanks Ken. Interesting read.
As it's not exactly the same as I'd like to do, I'll need to do some extra thinking!
In so much as you say that "The system drive is no longer the "landing zone" for your shares.", do you mean "drive" or do you mean the 20Gb system partition?
In my case, the 80Gb drive is split into the (stnadard) 20Gb System partition and the balance of 60GB is the start of the data "pool" as it were. Do "shares" get written in anyway to this 60GB portion of the data pool (slow drive), or do they get shunted to the physical 1TB drive (forming the latter bit of the notional 1,060 GB data pool)?
Perhaps its not Disk cloning that I need, rather partition cloning of the complete WHS drive array?
e.g.
WHS
<---------Physical Disk 1 80GB-----------><-------Physical Disk 2 1000GB ----------->
<--System 20GB--||<------Pool 60GB ---||--------Pool 1000 GB---------------------->
<----- C:\ ------><---------------------- D:\ --------------------------------------->
The method described was cloning the 80GB disk 1 with a larger capacity version, and "inserting" that before the existing Data Physical Disk 2.
"All" I want to do is put C: and D: onto a single physical disc. But I think I'd need to shrink the current D partition by 80GB to allow the cloning to take place. I don't think that's going to work.
Sorry for speaking out loud, as it were, just mulling over the options/difficulties!
