            Imho the easiest path would be to turn off sharding on the
            volume and 

            simply do a copy of the files (to a different directory, or
            rename and 

            then copy i.e.)

            
            This should simply store the files without sharding.

          
      If you turn off sharding on a sharded volume with
        data in it, all sharded files would be unreadable
    
    
    Is it that really so?

    
    I thought that sharding was a extended attribute on the files
    created when sharding is enabled.

    
    Turning off sharding on the volume would not turn off sharding on
    the files, but on newly created files ...

    
    Anyway if that is so the simplest path would be to crete a new
    volume and move/copy files over.
