Robert,

I'd like to, but it's not part of RHEH4.

I hadn't thought about that. Another good example of "assume", eh?

Uhhh.... Fine idea, but that'd be like moving Bandini Mountain. I
already have 434GB of forensic data on that filesystem. Any attempt to
back that up to tape and verify it would take several days -- if not
weeks -- assuming I had that many DDS-3 tapes (which I don't). I'm
hoping affordable 25GB blu-ray DVD-Rs become available "soon".

It's a Red Hat thing. A Google search directs you to some tiny burg
called Nahant, MA where they apparently do some sailing. Welcome to Woop
