Hello,
Our hosting company in the Netherlands would like to become a mirror on a dedicated server we aren't using anymore that way it doesn't just stand there useless.
But we have a few questions before we start and I hope you can help us out:
When we run:
rsync -aqzH --delete msync.centos.org::CentOS /path/to/local/mirror/root
we will mirror everything from Centos even version 2 and 3 and thats kind of old and takes up lots of disc space nobody uses.
I'm wondering two things: How much disc space will it cost to mirror everything with the above command.
Is there a way to only mirror Centos 5 and 4 (and 6 wen it will be released) and how much space will that take?
Bandwith is not a problem, but I need to place a HD in the server and every project we going to mirror starting with Centos will have his own drive so I need to know some numbers. *

Here's our current disk usage broken down by mirrored directory. We aren't mirroring DVDs at this point so it would be higher if you did. Also, when a new point release comes out the old and new source will be mirrored for a short time (ie both 5.4. and 5.5), so you might want to plan for at least twice the available space for the 4 and 5 trees to be safe. Only mirroring 4 and 5 would just be a matter of twiddling your rsync string. Hope this helps..

Hi,
We do mirror DVD iso's. See below for usage to give you a comaprison. As mentioned, the size can vary a bit when in transition between 2 releases. We have a 250GB volume allocated to the CentOS mirror and it fits very well.
