This is all helpful.
Yes, we do need Catherine to put this data up for this project. Let's
keep the dialog and information flowing about space, so we do allotments
and make space as well as partitioning decisions appropriately.

I see no reason why you couldn't put 15GB of stuff on the server.
Especially because the bulk of it is temporary.
However, there's not space for a whole lot more than that at the moment.
If we're looking at buying disk drives
anyway maybe we want more space? (Ryan: More spindles
are always good, to a point. :-)
I tried setting the maximum upload size to 5G just to see what would
happen but can't until Ryan does some more fixing after this weekend's
breakage.
Regardless you won't be able to upload more than either 1.8G or twice
that because that's all the free space we have in /tmp.
Ryan will need to give us more space on our root partition if we want to
support larger uploads.
Jeanne/Susan: We will want _some_ policy about how much space people can
use. But this is a people question just to keep things "fair", not a
technical question so long as we've hardware resources available.
