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.
