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.. # du -cha --max-depth=1 centos/ | sort +1 -2 115G centos/ 4.0K centos/2 1.3M centos/2.1 4.0K centos/3 4.0K centos/3.1 4.0K centos/3.3 4.0K centos/3.4 4.0K centos/3.5 4.0K centos/3.6 4.0K centos/3.7 4.0K centos/3.8 36G centos/3.9 4.0K centos/4 16K centos/4.0 16K centos/4.1 8.0K centos/4.2 24K centos/4.3 16K centos/4.4 16K centos/4.5 16K centos/4.6 16K centos/4.7 46G centos/4.8 40K centos/5 16K centos/5.0 16K centos/5.1 16K centos/5.2 16K centos/5.3 16K centos/5.4 34G centos/5.5 440K centos/build 84K centos/dostools 2.3M centos/graphics 8.0K centos/HEADER.html 136K centos/HEADER.images 8.0K centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-beta 8.0K centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-3 4.0K centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 8.0K centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 8.0K centos/TIME 8.0K centos/timestamp.txt 115G total Matt Ruzicka | Senior Systems Engineer | VCP4, RHCT CISP 419.724.5345 office 419.205.2499 cell 419.724.3547 24x7 support support at cisp.com | www.cisp.com
