Reconfigure EYEWI /data

Turning the previously mirrored 21 GB of /data on EYEWI into a 63 GB RAID 5.

With the full set of 4 disks, we can use the two other disks for the on-disk backups. But we can’t make concats of mirrored devices in Solaris volume manager, so I had to dump /data, format the new disks the same as the current ones, and then turn slice 7 on all four disks into a RAID 5 volume. Currently doing a restore of the dumps from this morning (and then I’ll keep the tape around).
