Validation is getting further behind, on purpose, because we need assimilation to catch up and clear some of the space for incoming work. We're going to let the current batch of work run out and then let the server catch up.

I also have this to share from our host:
"I think that if we put the drives and card in another machine and stress test the heck out of them starting this weekend (3rd & 4th of September), we can leave that machine running all week and I can install everything on the following weekend (the 10th and 11th). "
