Well, I can only give you a range since there has to be *some* room for variation and the "release engineer" cannot give you any assurances that the size will stay under X because the release engineer only controls a portion of the content on ftp-master.freebsd.org. Some of the largest content there represents various versions of the packages collection and the distfiles, for example, and that content is managed directly by various portmeisters and buildmasters. All I can really tell you is that current demands are around 65GB and should be expected to get no larger than 150GB over the next 12 months since I'd expect us to prune some content as the packages collection grows and subsequent releases are made. If there's any one truism about disk space, however, it's that content grows exponentially to fill it and I expect ftp-master to be no exception. Even with the most aggressive pruning and an attention to removing old stuff, I have to be a pessimist about this and figure that 100GB in the near future is a scenario not at all out of the question. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
