Hello,

I've mulled over it (specifically the requirement for 500 G space)
 and I think it's worth a bit of inversion. So my order for a new 3TB
 disk is on the way :)

yes!

Tahoe runs nice on my ARM box now with TestGrid, needing about 25 % of
64 MB RAM memory. I want to  upgrade the system before integrating
it, so it may take two weeks or three.

BTW, can you give me some information how a safe and efficient backup 
strategy would look like? With user data, I am using GNU tar doing
dialy/weekly incremental backups and monthly full backups.

However, if shares under $BASEDIR/storage are inmutable (as
I'd expect from a git-like system), it looks
that a script with something like

------------
    tmplabel=.${label}.new
    cp -al $tdir/$lastmod $tdir/$tmplabel
    echo ok, syncing
    rsync -avbH $1/ $tdir/$tmplabel
    mv $tdir/$tmplabel $tdir/$label
------------

is far more efficient in doing quick snapshots.

cheers,

Johannes
