Isn't this true: for all images already uploaded, there is no problem.
Only when a new image is uploaded, it will go to one or the other
filesystem?
I think this could be tolerable if we disable image uploading on the
"old" server (now the "database server"), just to make sure nothing
gets uploaded there.
Yes, that's the case; disabling uploads in the old server would
still allow uploads on the new one, and pages would look fine on
the new server, and there would be a few broken images on the
old server during transition. It would also be necessary to disable
rendering new equations on the old server as well, and that might
be more annoying that disabling uploads.
