Thanks Anssi, archive.kernel.org is so much faster -:)
Anyway, I'm not using CentOS 5 on production, only as a glibc 2.5 build environment in docker, nothing to worry about

Hi there
I'm trying to create a partial mirror of vault.centos.org, aka http://vault.centos.org/5.11
Since I only need the binary RPMS, does anyone know how much disk space is required to save the whole folder?
I'm sure you are already aware that CentOS 5 went EOL a year ago, and stopped receiving any updates at that point. Therefore using CentOS 5 for anything is a security risk.
That said, I made a copy of the 5.11 files before they vanished from mirror.centos.org (for no particular reason apart from preserving history, I haven't had a CentOS 5 system anywhere for years), and here are some disk usage stats:
$ du -sh */i386 32K addons/i386 1.5G centosplus/i386 32K contrib/i386 32K cr/i386 129M extras/i386 32K fasttrack/i386 9.1G isos/i386 4.6G os/i386 8.4G updates/i386
$ du -sh */x86_64 32K addons/x86_64 1.1G centosplus/x86_64 32K contrib/x86_64 32K cr/x86_64 140M extras/x86_64 32K fasttrack/x86_64 11G isos/x86_64 5.3G os/x86_64 11G updates/x86_64
$ du -sh 5.11 50G 5.11
If you use rsync to get the files, using the -H flag (preserve hard links) saves a few bits because some files in i386 and x86_64 are the same. Some rsync servers for vault are listed on http://vault.centos.org/notonvault.html _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror
