The scary thing about this posting is that Joe was able to construct his
1TB+ filesystem with *ONLY* 37 hard drives.
The second scariest thing about this posting, which Joe didn't mention,
is that his sole reason for creating this filesystem is to store his collection
of Elvis movies!
p.s. I think large filesystems are another reason why NFS (and other remote
filesystems) is only going to become more important over time.
