This is by far the largest table (~200Gb). I need to add disk space to be able to host it on the NVME and move stuff around. Final move is GN2 code and we have over 400Gb free.

+ProbeSetData is the final table that needs to be migrated to innodb. The main problem is that it is huge and transforming the table runs out of disk space. In the first step I made a borg snapshot on
+
+```
+root@tux01:/export2/backup# borg create --progress --stats borg-mariadb-snapshot::migrate1a /export/local/home/mariadb/
+```
+
+next copy the database to a new partition:
+
+```
+root@tux01:/export4/local/home/mariadb/database/db_webqtl# rsync -vaP /var/lib/mysql/db_webqtl/* . --delete --bwlimit=20M
+```
+
+Note I throttle the speed because the system can become quite unusable at full copy speed.
+
## Notes
I found it is a bad idea to remove large .ibd files by hand because mariadb wants to recreate them to play the transaction log.
