- move your databases according to their current layouts in size and number of
- framgements, and extend them after everything is moved. the new devices the
- segments are on may be of any total size and configuration, only the databases
- need to be laid out in x chunks, each of a particular size, and as data, log,
- or data & log. in technical terms, the sysusages rows for the old and new
- servers must be the same. but the new devices may be much bigger in capacity,
- if that is what your new machine affords you, and you may ALTER the databases
- after all has been moved, and presumably when you need the space. personally,
- i never give a database more space unless it needs it, as once it's given,
- that's it -- no shrinking! you may find that some other database (or a new
- one) will need the space you just gave away to a database that wasn't hurting..
