Is that 4 TB on a single node?  By policy we're limiting node sizes to
approximately 1 TB in order to avoid too much disparity in server size so we
don't get in a situation where all the small servers are full, leaving a
grid too small to be usable.

If you'd like to provide 4 TB anyway, that is fine, but we'd like you to
limit your storage consumption to 1 TB.  You can read the rationale for this
policy at:

The machine would be located near Watsonville CA (about half way between

Excellent.  More geographic dispersion!

Start by taking a look at the wiki to see what the policies are, then either
ask questions or, if you don't have any, add your node to the grid!
