[Swift-devel] Need help using Data Capacitor in Swift Workflow

[Michael Wilde]

Ti indicated that FLASH will free 15 TB in about 3 weeks, and that we 
can buy more disks. Currently the SAN is still sitting at 99% full with 
less than 1 TB free.

The DC is just another TG resource - I see no reason not to use any Grid 
resource available to us.

I dont have any funds I can use for growing the SAN. If you want us to 
grow it using CI funds, we can. I dont know that we've created a policy 
for how to grow it. We should.
