NetApp's "vol move" and "vfiler migrate". We primarily use AFS vos move
for FS balancing and evacuation in prep for maintenance. Since netapps
can be maintained non-disruptively, keeping them scaled small so they can
be evacuated easily is not a design constraint. Therefore, our netapps
have 200+ TB of storage which eliminates most of the data movement we would
typically do with AFS to avoid maint downtime.
Its a different world/different philosophy. Netapp can also serves a
volume to NFS and CIFS simultaneously, supports Krb5 and AD...Snapshots,
dedupe, compression, But i digress.

I think if you spend $$$$$$ on a NetAPP box, you might get that.<br>
However, I am aware of<br>
no open source/freeware solution that does vos move, ( or at least<br>
none that does it as<br>
seamlessly as OpenAFS).<br>
