Hi guys,
     So I'm going to try again with resizing keg's RAID array. I am 
going to be a little more careful this time. The first thing I'm going 
to do, today, is to remove the fourth drive from the RAID array, rebuild 
its partition table with GPT, which can handle larger than 2TB 
partitions, and then re-add it to the array and let it rebuild. Then I'm 
going to reboot keg and make sure everything comes back up fine. I will 
wait to reboot, though, until Tom's jobs are done, if that would be 
helpful. It looks like they are relatively short-running jobs, Tom (I 
mean, for you... heh)?
     I'll ping you again before I reboot it, which "shouldn't" hose your 
jobs, but things haven't gone as planned twice recently, so I'm less 
confident about that :)
     Of course, now that I'm saying that, everything will go as planned. 
It's like bringing an umbrella to ensure it doesn't rain, probably :)
