I'll toot my own horn here, and say I presented a talk on this to a UserBlue
audience two meetings ago.  Much of it is replicated here:

I poked for comments and critiques of this listing of ways-of-transferring
before, please feel free to point out errors. :)

I'd suggest that it will probably take longer than that to delete the unwanted
data pointers from the databases.  Pleasantly, though, you can test this. :)

If you want to do this, make sure that your data is REALLY all collocated.
You might want to put stuff in different stgpools, and ensure that no node has
data in the 'wrong' stgpool.
