Mylah currently:

- hosts the large secondary disk array which is 762GB of data
- is the primary initiator for the EMC SAN (which holds 
  /mp3s and miscellaneous large data stores)
- shares both of these via NFS and Samba
- is the Samba domain master
- is the Xen Dom0 for Mussel

If we get a 64-bit machine with paravirtualisation support, we could have 
a VM cluster rather than running Xen on one server and kvm on the other.
