So, I have a running Zimbra 8.6 community server up and running with Zextras-mobile activated. Runs fine, but, I need more space for user mails and I want to break apart the mail stores from the boot drive.

We were in such a rush to get this going, we didn't have time to install the mirrored drives for boot and mail.

So, I am in the process of trying to replicate what we did before. We are using DNSmasq just fine and that works.

Here are my options:
- use clonezilla to mirror the boot/root drive onto the new server
- use clonezilla to mirror the mail stores onto the new drive on the new server

Then go back and re-mirror the drives (software) and go from there. (I'll have to muck with device paths for networking, but, thats not big deal)

The other option is a fresh install, but I still have to migrate the mail stores
When looking at your migration tool, I tried to install it but it looks like I have to uninstall our current Zextra mobile tools (core & zimlet)
- Does this mean I can't install mobile while I am migrating?
- what is the correct order in which to install Zextra-mobile and Zextra-migration?

I want to test this first before playing with a production host.
