<p>Hi Ben,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Last time I checked my mirror, the CentOS mirror was using about 220GB disk space. Allowing for future growth, I would allocate 350-400GB for the medium to long term.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>On my mirror, I have it accessible by going to <a class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk89069" href="http://mirror.chrishawker.com.au/centos" previewremoved="true">
http://mirror.chrishawker.com.au/centos</a>. If you are planning to mirror multiple distributions, then create a sub-folder for each distribution. There are a lot of mirrors that use the mirror subdomain.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is just something extra that you can do (if you like, but not required), you can also run a status/lastsync page on your website. I have inserted some PHP code into a WordPress page that allows me to display the contents of a text file. My mirror scripts
all run the following command:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>date -u > /fakepath/centos/lastsync_mirror.chrishawker.com.au.txt</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Then in the WordPress pages, I enter this code (note, you will need the insert-php plugin):</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span>[insert_php] echo file_get_contents( "http://mirror.chrishawker.com.au/centos/lastsync_mirror.chrishawker.com.au.txt" ); [/insert_php]</span></p>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Using just standard PHP, change the square bracket tags for the <?php and ?> tags respectively.</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>When it comes to deciding where to store your content, I created a RAID5 device (/dev/md0) which mounts to a folder in the server's root directory (/, not the /root directory). My mirror server is dedicated to mirroring so I changed the default web
directory to the folder in the root. Did have some issues at the start, but I resolved it within the first day (errors were my own doing).</span></div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>Anything else or something you are not too sure about, please ask.</span></div>
<div><br>
