One advantage of the current volume distribution is that each of the
volumesets (ronald-ann:{b,c}, rosebud:{b,c}, ro{nald-ann,sebud}:a)
fits onto a single backup tape. There are lots of distributions with
more equal free space that (unfortunately) don't have this feature,
and I think it'd be nice if we didn't convert over to one of them...

Also, the 200+ Mb free on ronald-ann b might come in handy if someone
wanted to dump, for example, charon:/u0 to afs to help with an
"emergency upgrade" of, for example, charon to some other machine. I,
of course, haven't heard <fnord and I'm not a webmaster!> of any plans
for this type of "emergency upgrade", but then again sometimes
emergencies arise when you least expect them.
