Environment

Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (OES 11) Linux

Situation

After a pool move of a 3.2 TB pool with 10+ segments the move vanished
before the complete move command could be issues.
The Pool Moved failed to move data above 2TB, resulting in data corruption. 
This is true for any pool larger that 2 TB. 

Resolution

Contact Novell Support for FTF prior to doing the Pool Move.

Included in July 2012 maintenance update for OES11; also included in shipping media for OES11 SP1.
