Description Marek Wiecek 2005-01-10 16:09:56 UTC 
I've started to prepare a new gentoo full sources mirror. As the data flows I've started to worry about my discs capacity (raid0 of 3x36gb hdd). At this point data exceeds 80GB, it's much more than the documentation says (source_mirrors.xml).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Prepare raid0 consisting of 3 hdds (36GB each)
2.mkfs.reiserfs /dev/md0 && mount /dev/md0 /mirror/gentoo
3.rsync -av --delete ftp.ussg.iu.edu::gentoo-distfiles /mirror/gentoo
4.wait a little (48h in my case) df -khs /mirror/gentoo

Actual Results:  
85G

Expected Results:  
~60GB
Comment 1 Marek Wiecek 2005-01-10 22:54:24 UTC 
just a typo:
du -khs

at this point of time I have a complete mirror and it takes ~91GB
Comment 2 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-11 05:36:36 UTC 
You can save 22GB by removing the /releases/historical directory.  This directory isn't required -- we keep it around for (of all things) historical reasons.

I've also updated the documentation to better reflect our actual space usage.  We've grown since that doc was last updated.
