<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> The 1.3 TB of space is for the *current* archives - i386, amd64, Sources as is on archive.ubuntu.com. To my knowledge, this doesn't include old-releases which needs a separate sync (either ftpsync or rsync) down to disk, and probably in its own directory root unless you use some arcane black magic with your syncing. I made an inquiry with the Mirrors Team (and therefore the Canonical sysadmins as a result), I was provided with the information that the approximate disk size on-disk for the old-releases.ubuntu.com data is about 4.2 TB. Which means you will need 1.3TB (currently supported releases) + 4.2 TB (old-releases) for a total of 5.5TB space on disk to hold all that data. And remember that the ubuntu archives and the old-releases archives sit on separate sync points, so you might have an *extra* long download time period, and extra bandwidth usage beyond what you initially anticipated.

I'm dedicating an 8TB drive to the mirroring, and I'm bringing it down slowly enough (3mb per second) that my provider won't get too hot about it. If 1.3T is enough for everything from both old-releases and from archive, then it's all good.

I.e amd64 and i386. If you are using ftpsync ARCH_INCLUDE="amd64 i386 source" HTH Brent </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
