I want to add CENTOS to the list of software that we mirror at Argonne National Laboratory:

http://mirror.anl.gov/

I've looked through the mirror pages (http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=22), but was unable to find information on the size of a full mirror. How much space do I need to make available?

The current size of the complete CentOS repo (without dvd iso images) is 96171008248 bytes - ie 96 GB

Does that include CD ISOs?

How much if I include DVD ISOs?

currently that is 122GB ...

during release time, this number can grow considerably (by 20-30gb) and then will decrease as we move the old release to the vault

HOWEVER ... since the upstream guys are getting ready to do "A New Thing" wrt the releases (a 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2 that will be supported each for 18 months ... and 4.6.0 with 4.5.1 ... and 4.6.1 and 4.7.0 with 4.5.2, etc.).

We are not sure what the upstream policy will produce until we really see it in practice ... so we really have no idea what it will cause in size increases.

Also, CentOS-5 will be added to the mix in probably 3-4 months ... that should be about another 30gb too.

Thanks, Peter,

A more conservative (larger) estimate is actually better in my case.

Cheers,

Here's the situation on my mirror as of a few seconds ago: [root@spocto ~]# du -sm /data/mirror/centos 92671 /data/mirror/centos [root@spocto ~]# du -sm /data/mirror/centos/4.3 34776 /data/mirror/centos/4.3 [root@spocto ~]# du -sm /data/mirror/centos/3.7 22061 /data/mirror/centos/3.7

This is not quite normal usage since we currently have both 3.7 and 4.3 (along with current 3.8 and 4.4). When they move into store/vault that space (34776+22061) will free up.

...this however is not quite true either since 4.4 and 3.8 havn't yet reached their full size (som arches missing).

Basically, could you ask another time? ;-))
