Oops. I wrote that and then didn't go back to fill in the output from
"du -s".

1.6 GB of working directory in the CVS sandbox, 3.5 GB in the SVN
sandbox.

I just noticed a possible cause... the RewriteLog was turned on (part
of an attempt to get Insurrection to work again...)

Turned it off. Started a new run... almost done and then some wise
guy shut the system down. Argh...

readonly wide open, "basic" for read-write.

Thanks, I'll study that.

ext3. But I'd rather not switch. What does Reiser have going for it
that would help here?
