More space on the current server is not a financial issue. Technical,
only Martin and OSU have access to modify the ganeti disks. This is a
short term solution to expand or add another disk slice. The easiest way
is to mount a 2nd ganeti disk using some of the unallocated space from
the host. I can write up the commands if that helps, but don't have
access to do it myself. Growing the existing disk is also possible but
requires more than a reboot, and has a slight risk of data loss (as all
ext3 expansions do).

Longer term, I had put in the budget that we should replace osgeo3 with
a new machine this year. But only after osgeo4 is fully retired. So
really we just need to finish moving the last 2 VMs off osgeo4 so we can
clear up the rack space.

We could also just change where downloads is and put it on osgeo6, but
that isn't as cleanly separated from all the projects.

Thanks,
