Ohhh, the /luxury/ of 32MB of RAM and a whole 1GB of disk--kids these
days with their skewed concepts of "small" systems!

I managed to kill the 400MB ST1480 system drive in my amply sized 16MB
MicroVAX 3100 build server last night.  Or rather, it finally died after
after being hammered on continuously for 60 days straight with package
builds.  In that time it completed 264 packages totalling about 170MB of
compressed package files.  In the end, it was the C++ compiler trying to
build the qt2-libs package that finally killed it, the poor thing.

Time to find a new drive.
