How do we know that the bottleneck is the controller?  I would think that it is 
just as likely, or more likely, that it's caused by reading and writing on the 
same portion of each disk intensively.  Thus it would be a disk, and not a 
controller bottleneck.  

At any rate, I have 100 GB of unused disk space on a linux box with a DSL 
connection -- we could set up an account for HCoop rsync and take away this 
disk activity immediately, perhaps resulting in a usable system that would work 
for at least a couple of months while we stabilize membership a bit more on 
fyodor.  I don't see how this would take more than a few minutes to set up.

Once we get rid of this bottleneck, we could probably even do a membership 
drive while still on fyodor... the system should rock after fixing it.

I'm just throwing this out to the group as an option. :)

Take care everyone,

Justin
