[torqueusers] ha torque

[Brock Palen]

Ours is 868MB  but its all because we don't rotate out our account  
logs,  Right now we have 6025 jobs,  and server_priv/jobs is just 73 MB.

[root at nyx server_priv]# du -h --max-depth=1
8.0K    ./acl_svr
4.0K    ./disallowed_types
796M    ./accounting
73M     ./jobs
4.0K    ./acl_groups
72K     ./queues
48K     ./acl_users
24K     ./acl_hosts
868M    .

Good luck,  You really don't need more than a Gig LUN to do this.   
Maybe try DRBD.  I use it for Virtualized OS's all the time, to  
mirror their partitions across hosts.
