You had the same weird timeout problem on themis, which has four 2GB
disks. (Sorry, I meant to mention this.) That's why I called it a
"new-ASO-configuration sparc 5," as opposed to just
"ASO-configuration."

I'm concerned about our ability to buy hardware for other services if
we ask for $18,000 or so of purchases for AFS. Other than that, I
don't have a problem with it.
