   There's now a 4G disk sitting in the rack on top of pickled that can
be used for u6.  Since getting the 4G afs disks would require an outage,
I used the 4G disk that used to be on bloom-picayune, although I've
moved it from the full-height enclosure into a smaller enclosure.

   The drive was a full-height 1G drive identical to the one that's
currently inside cj; it'll hold an install of Linux-Athena easily.  If
you're interested in it, let me know and it can be retrieved from the
machine room.
