Yes, this should work, the sector index in rebuilt on lotus-miner/worker startup. You can even avoid some downtime by copying sectors first, then stopping the miner, editing storage.json, and starting it back up |

Shouldn't we change all "true" to "false" in miner's config.toml in section [Dealmaking] - to stop dealmaking, before copying the sectors to new location? |

you should avoid writing to both storage locations - unrelated to deals |
