I actually ended up just TARing the whole directory....which took somewhere around 20 minutes to do (and spiked the load average out to around 2.5). Yes, I know, I took the easy way out....I can hear the booing from the crowd. I figured that it made it not only easier to tar, but also easier to restore if need be. After removing all the files, it's now works like a charm, CPU, memory, and disk usage are back where they were when I first installed the system.
I would have to agree though, it would be fun to play with it and see how it works, though I would rather not on my firewall :) Thanks for you help with this!
