We do have disk space that can be added. I was hesitant to do it this
time because the downtime would be longer for qgis which is quite
heavily visited at the moment.

Also I had an idea, that we should take the "Backup" vm and turn at
least part of it into a "Build" vm while we discuss other options to
come online. Step 1 in this process is to move the backups off osgeo4
onto the new osgeo5 hardware. I've been told osgeo5 was racked last week
but not turned on yet. So I expect it to come online this week. At that
point we could slice off some disk or just rename "Backup" to "Build or
Download2" and get started using it for other things.

Thanks,
