Well yesterday turned out not to be a hacking day at all, but rather a day dismantling VT and installing a new disk (80gb from support).  It’s not yet active (we need some more downtime to setup the new disk, and move data back and forth) but it should mean we have a lot more room to breathe!  Thanks to Simon for his help with the beast; getting a new hard disc into a desktop case proved to be a very non-trivial process!
