My one concern is that both backup02 and fedorapeople can have a large
IO needs and we can have the starvation issues we had last year with
backup02... where it would mysteriously crash when it was doing lvm
items and the other ibiblio boxes were having a load.

How do the other ibiblio boxes look like for space or reallocation of disks?
