You should be able to do that while your VMs are running. I guess it depends
on your hypvervisor, but with KVM just moving the disk to a new filename while
the VM is running should be enough, as it'll create a new file and copy the
data, thus creating the shards.
But it'll take a while for sure.

That seems huge to me, especialy if you're going for the full algo.
We're using 64MB and we're quite happy with it. But we don't have 10 GB
connections between the servers so maybe you're fine ..
