[Clusterusers] More keg rebuilding

[Thomas Helmuth]

Hi Josiah,

I don't really know what keg is (maybe the HDDs for fly?), but I'll assume
you have everything under control. I do have a paper deadline coming up at
the end of January, and the runs currently going are very important for it,
so I guess be extra careful that runs/data aren't lost.
