On the subject of the poor performance of DPM-drain I think it does
'prevent us from offering the service that we need to'.
Some of our partitions on the pool nodes are currently set very small
and we need to re format them to use the whole array. This is taking
months per node, so I'd say it is affecting our ability to provide a
professional stable service.

Thanks Sam/Ewan - I agree.
Though these issues are not only unlikely to be resolved pre data-
taking but also aren't critical in that they don't prevent us from
offering the service that we need to.
I agree though that the central support issue presents a large risk to
that service.
I don't think I'll bother updating the minutes but take it as
understood that it is a bigger issue than the word niggle implies.
