This was the disk that I started copying with an XO, at USB2 speeds, for
30hrs.  Then we completed the copy with a laptop at USB3 speeds, with a
different rsync.  We're redoing the copy from the original drive to the
drive that failed (reformatted ext4). And we'll let you know our results.

We may need a strategy to make this available.  It probably will have to
wait until we get back to a connection (non 3g).

Also an artifact of churn.

We don't have any remaining issues.  Thank you,
