Hello All,
Last night I started to RSYNC the entire fedora ftp site out at ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora but realized that I am not sure how much space it might take.
Could someone please tell me how much space I will need in order to mirror the entire distro?
Thanks, Lonnie

Not including the SRPMS and updates, you need about 2.5 gigs.

Hi Lonnie,
Total is 1.9GB for the core and 1022MB for the updates. Please see du output below.
If you plan on mirroring more than the core and updates. May I suggest yam by Dag Wieers?
<sales pitch>
It uses rsync by default to mirror the core, updates, freshrpms, dags, dries and newrpms repositories. No configuration need for fc2 needed. It create the headers for apt and yum, configure itself for apache. Also Supports PXE/TFTP remote installs. Check it out at http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/yam/
Total Disc Space is 5.5GB for all those repos including testing from kde-redhat (added for KDE 3.3) and some rpms I have downloaded from atrpms.
</sales pitch>
du output for /var/yam/fc2-i386 where I store my FC2 rpms.
[root@gmike yam]# du -chs fc2-i386 5.5G fc2-i386 5.5G total [root@gmike yam]# cd fc2-i386 [root@gmike fc2-i386]# du -chs core 1.9G core 1.9G total [root@gmike fc2-i386]# du -chs updates 1022M updates 1022M total [root@gmike fc2-i386]# ls atrpms core dag dries freshrpms kde newrpms updates [root@gmike fc2-i386]#

Now I forgot to add that its just RPMS and headers and here is du output for every folder in /var/yam/fc2-i386
[root@gmike fc2-i386]# du -chs * 111M atrpms 1.9G core 895M dag 281M dries 302M freshrpms 316M kde 689M newrpms 1022M updates 5.5G total [root@gmike fc2-i386]#
Strange.
Seemed like more than that (5.5G) if you included everything:
Index of ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core

especially in the development directory which has many platforms.
I have been reading over the YAM docs but the light bulb has not come on yet to really show me how it is any better than simple rsync in a cron script.
Thanks, Lonnie

Its smaller becuase I didn't included anything more than I need. I just have the RPMS for core and updates. nothing from development or testing. I don't need them or play with them. I'm just sticking to whats stable.
The selling point to me on yam is that it creates yum and apt headers made a mirror of my chosen repos without too much of a headache.
In minutes (well days 20kb/s down) I had a working mirror to update my network. With the 20kb/s down its advantages to dload once, update many.
I configured yum.conf to point to my yam folders and thats it. I run yam -uxg to and it updates everything and recreates the headers. You can set this in a cron also ;)

Thanks,
I'll give it a try so that I can update my own systems from my downloads from yam.
Sound good. Lonnie
