Its rigged to use 2 40GB vtapes if it has to. But I found some amandates
problems in my kicking the tires so we'll see what it does for tonight's
after midnight run.
Funny is that 5 machines are still running wheezy, but the default names
in both /etc/passwd and in /etc/group don't match! One of then isn't a
Wurlitzer, but since they were installed at different times over the
history here... Who knows and I'm too lazy to lock
in /var/cache/apt/archives to check versions. We'll see what happens
tonight.
