I would say 'Hell yes!', but not from a technical-constraint
perspective;  I'd emphasize the management overhead involved in
keeping track of such things.

Strong suggestion:  during the times you _can_ get the server to keep
running, one-by-one

upd vol [foo] acc=reado
move data [foo]
del vol [foo]

Then remake the involved storage in a larger size.  Hopefully this
will get you under your pain threshold quickly, and then you can
gradually reform the rest.
