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
<https://ofb.slack.com/archives/C2A4BR7KL>, and maybe a wall or two on
ofb. There will also be an all clear email when we're done.
