The big logs are caused by my own code -- I'm debugging something.  I just
want a way to limit the damage.  The diskless boxes use NFS for their
filesystems, which impacted the server -- which does matter.  Bugs on the
diskless boxes don't really matter -- I just press reset :)

So -- I guess I'll make a few filesystems. . . . perhaps it's time for me to
use LVM.
