-Things that should be achieved.
-====== Details ======
-===== Date =====
-Some weekend other than that of the 21st, or there will be no seth, as he is going home for the weekend.
-===== People =====
-....
-[[kev]] will deliver the server to the JCMB at some point on the weekend (so make sure it's a weekend
-that kev is free).
-====== Install New Server ======
-  *  Partition and install OS
-    * //Partition sizes?//
-    * //Filesystem?//  Increasing the amount of inodes (i.e., files) for partitions holding mail might be a good idea.  The current mail partition is nearly out of inodes.  Assuming we continue using ext3, turn on the dir_index option so that large directories (hopefully including maildirs) will be faster.
-  *  Configure
-    *  LDAP :(  (Possibly not needed; the current fileserver doesn't bother)
-    *  NFS
-  *  Copy data off dalek
-    * //Shutdown everything first or let it break?// (ps, A)
-    * //Pull disk, or network copy?// (ps, A again)
-      * //Probably the best solution would be to use rsync -a to copy files//
-with both systems running in parallel. Following that, a second rsync
-to deal with differences from when the first rsync started. Finally,
-take dalek's NFS mounts offline and rsync again. The new system should
-now be ready to put in place////
-  *  Change NFS mounts on all the systems, or just call the new machine dalek as well.
-Are the NFS mounts by IP, hostname, or cname? check me plzkthx
-  *  Cry
-====== Move bigger disks to davros ======
-  *  blah
-  *  lol
-  *  etc
-====== Let kev have his wicked way with brigadier ======
-We can even get a [[xen]] or a [[virtualisation]] page :)
-====== Book some rooms! ======
-This is rather important. If tardis doesn't get regular meetings/tutorials on the go,
-no new students will join the project. Everyone currently active in tardis is reaching
-their final years of university. Ex users and admins can help out by running tutorial
-sessions, providing rooms are booked.
-====== Moar things! ======
