I've added a new 10GB disk, but will need to take vogler down briefly for it to notice. When would be good?

My plan is to move the current upload folder to the new disk and then bind mount it, which also means the existing uploads will briefly be unavailable during the process.

There aren't different grades of storage, so it'll be the same speed as it is now. :-)

I'll add a .nobackup file to the new folder so we don't back it up.
