I believe Satoshi Asami was attempting to build a CCD array in excess of
1TB.  A number of fixes went in as he hit some of the larger amounts of
disk.

It may not have been Satoshi; it was one of the guys at Berkeley itself,
but my memory says "Satoshi".

I don't know if he tried a dump/restore on it; I think he was spending
all his money on disks, not tape robots.  ;-).
