I wonder how many Myth systems are combined FE/BE systems. Obviously these 
have to be up pretty much 24/7.

I suspect many systems are combos with another F/E or two.

There has been a lot of discussion of how to suspend and wake-up systems here, 
as well as how to spin down drives, which seems to be related to backends
