+move vol3/* to vol1 and vol2
+
+it is ok to move x.dat and x.idx from one volumeserver to another volumeserver, 
+because they are exactly the same. 
+it can be checked by md5.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	md5 vol1/1.dat vol2/1.dat
+	MD5 (vol1/1.dat) = c1a49a0ee550b44fef9f8ae9e55215c7
+	MD5 (vol2/1.dat) = c1a49a0ee550b44fef9f8ae9e55215c7
+	md5 vol1/1.idx vol2/1.idx
+	MD5 (vol1/1.idx) = b9edc95795dfb3b0f9063c9cc9ba8095
+	MD5 (vol2/1.idx) = b9edc95795dfb3b0f9063c9cc9ba8095
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+

+	weed volume -dir=/tmp/vol2/ -mserver="localhost:9334" -ip="localhost" -port=8082
