+<PRE>Hi,
+
+I did started to contact some people to find Tier1 mirrors. One question
+come immediatelly: what will be the size of our mirror tree ?
+
+To have an idea I checked the mirror of the current Mandriva cooker and
+the result make me afraid.
+
+The current cooker tree (RPMS + installer only) is 88GB (SRPMS + i586 +
+x86_64). If I add 3 DVD iso (4GB each) I get around 100GB.
+
+This mean at the begining our mirror will be ~80 GB and in 3 years (1
+release every 6 months) our tree size will be around 700GB !
+
+700GB is an huge size. I know anyone can buy a 1 TB hard drive for a
+small price, however this is not the way it works in real datacenter
+where people take care to the safety of data (RAID1 is two disk). And
+we have to think to future: what will be the size in 6 years ?
+
+The current full Mandriva mirror is more than 1,2 TB.
+
+So an immediate question come: should we try to reduce the size ?
+
+There are solutions, but they implies changes in our development
+process and have counter parts:
+- using hardlink between RPM:
+ - can be done for noarch inside a release
+ - no resiging packages from cooker to stable at release (rpm changes,
+ any possible hardlink get broken)
+- do not push -debug: will bother others developers
+- removing old distro (having another tree for old): this usualy
+ bother people having old distribution still working on some
+ computers, 3 years is not a so long timelife
+
+So:
+- is this kind of size an issue ?
+- do we have to reduce it ?
+- do you have comments/idea about this state ?
+
+Regards.
