Anyone else have an opinion on this?

It should be quick and easy to request a new lvm volume be added as a
2nd disk on QGIS by OSUOSL. Then we can format it XFS or something other
than ext3 and migrate all the static content on to it. Best case it
might improve our overall i/o.

FYI, we should have at least 500 GB of currently unallocated space and
as an lvm volume it can actually be grown relatively easily, possibly
even without taking it offline since it won't be the primary disk of the vm.

I'd like to go forward with the request at the end of this week unless I
hear objections.

Thanks,
Alex
