This brought out some peculiarities of SHANTI.
Mainly being the problem with soft updates on the root partition, which I’ve known about for a long time. I’ve made a few more timing modifications to the account.pl part of ecs-usermgr, so we should hopefully be slightly more immune to this in the future. Nevertheless, I suspect that batch creations and deletions should be split(1) into files of no more than 50-75 accounts each.
