Honestly I would advise against this, I did it but it was really
quite painful. When I upgraded my other (work) machine I just copied
the old disk to a new partition of the same size and added another
partition/arena and told venti about it.

I rebuilt the indices and fossil from the arenas and was good to go in
a couple of hours.

Much easier/quicker.
