+</I>&gt;<i> Le 01/10/2010 03:32, Olivier Thauvin a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Hi,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>[...]
+&gt;&gt;<i> The current cooker tree (RPMS + installer only) is 88GB (SRPMS + i586 +
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> x86_64). If I add 3 DVD iso (4GB each) I get around 100GB.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This mean at the begining our mirror will be ~80 GB and in 3 years (1
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> release every 6 months) our tree size will be around 700GB !
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 700GB is an huge size. I know anyone can buy a 1 TB hard drive for a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> small price, however this is not the way it works in real datacenter
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> where people take care to the safety of data (RAID1 is two disk). And
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> we have to think to future: what will be the size in 6 years ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The current full Mandriva mirror is more than 1,2 TB.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So an immediate question come: should we try to reduce the size ?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Today, you can find 1To SATA hard disks around 60&#8364; (vat included). I
+</I>&gt;<i> shouldn't be to hard to have too I guess.if there's 100persons on this
+</I>&gt;<i> list, each gives 1.5&#8364; and you are done with the 2x1To hard disks in RAID.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+The problem is not the Mageia internal or reference mirror.
+The problem is do we get enough big, fast and reliable mirrors that:
+1. can be a Tier1
+2. want to host that much data
+
+This also affects how many downstream mirrors that want to help,
+as they all ask: &quot;do we want to host another ~1TB or so...&quot;
+
+And without enough good Tier1 mirrors, the few (one?) existing ones will
+be overloaded, and mirroring will take a long time, meaning several
+mirrors will have outdated / not fully synced mirrors -&gt; Mageia gets
+complaints about unreliable mirrors...
+
+So it's sure something to think about...
