[ngw] next release of GW

[Matt Weisberg]

This is actually a common practice in the Linux world.  Put all the data on a separate volume so you can scratch the OS and rebuild it.  I've always build my Linux hosts this way. I actually just did this on one of my boxes where the OS got screwed up beyond repair.  I just wiped it, reloaded SLES, and mounted my data volumes, not a thing lost.
