He could easily use these two for a striped /var/spool:

/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s7     8.7G   11K  8.6G   1% /var/spool/clientmqueue
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7     8.7G  439M  8.2G   5% /var/spool/mqueue

There's lot's of other disk variations he could try but I wanted to
start with things that are easily reversible so maybe we should let Rob
have a say in this too. :-)
