I guess I should send the all clear.

We didn't end up rebooting ofb. We'll probably continue working on it sometime soon.

Details for the curious:

The disk copying took longer than expected (9 hr), so /home is unchanged.
We have created and enabled swap. We'll test booting it next time we boot.
We did not resize OFB's RAM. Though enabling swap has freed up some memory.

That's about it.

Hi,

We're going to be working on OFB again tonight. This will result in a few reboots and probably some time where ofb is in a single user mode and so unavailable, but will require no further action from others.

The list of tasks we're looking to complete tonight includes:
Resizing OFB's RAM. We rebooted last night due to running out of memory.
Adding a swap disk.
Converting /home from ext2 to ext4.
It being ext2 is why the reboot this morning took over an hour. Plus things will be faster after the conversion.
It's going to take us a while to get set, so there will be a bit before any reboots, so if you have questions or comments, fire away.

I'm probably going to keep most updates to #miniofb on slack, and maybe a wall or two on ofb. There will also be an all clear email when we're done.
