Ah, see, should've given 'em to us! Big rectangular state, you know, #3 machine owner at the time. We didn't charge overhead, probably because it never occurred to us to do it.

People brought machines, we gave 'em quota. Easy enough.

So glad to not be doing that any more.

I know the service! The folks in NY had the state flag by their cubicle. My team in 2007-2011 was probably one of the largest users and I think I donated machines to y'all in the old Groningen cluster, before quotas were automated. GFS didn't charge for chunkserver overhead, either, and that mistake took years and lots of pain to fix...
