ftp.heanet.ie (4 machines in an LVS cluster) has access to about 67TB of
usable storage on our Isilon NAS, but this is shared with other
applications so obviously we don't want it to get out of control. An
additional TB for Fedora is fine though.

This shouldn't be a problem for anyone that we peer with (INEX, GEANT,
Internet2 etc..). We do, however, apply a 500Mbit/s cap for
ftp.heanet.ie on one of our transit connections (telia) and a 1Gbit/s
cap on the other (tiscali).
