You'd been saying that nfs takes a lot of disk space, and that mcserv 
might be smaller. (I'm going to call it a day, and not monkey with

Let me just mention that last fall you pointed out to someone that nfs 
was a relatively compact way, compared with ?? (I forgot what the other 
ways were)

I will paste here the output of df
