Using ln -s with NFS across two drives?

Hi

I have a server with a large RAID partition on it.

The raid partition is split into a few directories which are then shared individually via NFS.

Unfortunately the whole array is filling up and I need to do a little bit of juggling till I can upgrade the whole array to new disks.

I have therefore added some spare available drives to make a second array on the same machine, I do not want to share this array via NFS as that would require reconfiguring the clients and then reconfiguring them back when the change gets unwound.

So what I wanted to do is move one of the directories from the original Array (Array 1) to the new temporary Array (Array 2) and set a symbolic link thus....

ln -s /mnt/path/to/array1 /mnt/path/to/array2

This gets seen and works fine on the server but of course as the clients can't see /mnt/path/to/array2 they fail.....

Is there an obvious fix/fudge I'm missing?

Thanks and Season Greetings!!

ARRAY_DIFF_UASSOC(3)							 1						      ARRAY_DIFF_UASSOC(3)

array_diff_uassoc - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check which is performed by a user supplied callback function

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_uassoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...], callable $key_compare_func) DESCRIPTION
Compares $array1 against $array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff(3) the array keys are used in the comparison. Unlike array_diff_assoc(3) an user supplied callback function is used for the indices comparison, not internal function. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against o $key_compare_func - The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b) RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the entries from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_uassoc(3) example The "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the output because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1. <?php function key_compare_func($a, $b) { if ($a === $b) { return 0; } return ($a > $b)? 1:-1; } $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red"); $result = array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, "key_compare_func"); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [b] => brown [c] => blue [0] => red ) The equality of 2 indices is checked by the user supplied callback function. NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_diff_uassoc($array1[0], $array2[0], "key_compare_func");. SEE ALSO
