[tech] Re: [ucc] /home

We need to do something quickly as we are getting a hella (hopefully) lot 
of freshers coming in soon who will want to save stuff on home.

We either buy another drive for morwong (we do have another storage brick 
no?)/ start acting on dead account and reclaim some space from normal 
accounts/adjust the size of home upwards.

We will probably need more space for home soon anyway, so even if the last 
two options are chosen we should get a new HD some time soon.

All depends on how much space we can get back quickly to see whether we 
need the new HD before o-day.

Without suffering,
how can one appreciate happiness?
And how would we mark the depths of our sorrow,
without the light of hope?
