Actually, 90GB is a bit less than we've got.

% df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mirrors_volume/mirrors_logical_volume
                      101G   85G   11G  89% /mirrors

Note that we're already using 85GB, so I'd prefer we not downgrade.=20
If we can get more space (to get up to the 101G we hav now), that would
be good.

Getting more space in the rack (by swapping out the full tower there
currently), though, is a very good idea.

Cheers,
Tanner
