Ok to reboot, but please wait until an week day afternoon (EDT), so in 
case something goes badly wrong I can run to the media lab to fix things.

Last friday I made more room in /backup by moving historic backups to 
justice and deleting the oldest backups snapshots of sunjammer, but at 
this rate it will fill by the end of this week.

Dogi was in the process of migrating some large VMs related to OLE in 
order to free up some space on freedom. Dogi, how long will it take?
