looks like i missed some fun

what are the problems with the 20TB of data ( db ) ?
- i'm very very curious and interested in building 20TB into one 4U
  chassis :-) ( in the process of doing so -- testing )
	- postgres vs oracle vs mysql down to the gory details is good
	- db backups issues
	- recovery issues
	- transaction logging issues to be replayed on yesterdays backup
	to recreate a clean copy of today's backup before the crash, etc
	- backups across the t1/t3 wires ( speed wise )
	- is the db rdiff'able issues

	- lots of fun testing and corrupting and fixing 20TB ??
	( i think it's non-trivial )

i wondered about that ... post meetings, because fries closes at 8 or 9
and 9pm is too early to "go home"
	( note, i remembered at 7:30pm that there was a meeting :-)
