Hi, does it really make sense to still keep snapshots from 2010 ? emoenke@ftp4:0 01:51:34 /mirr/bin > du -s /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201011 31917144 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201011 emoenke@ftp4:0 01:52:45 /mirr/bin > du -s /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201012 19357096 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201012 emoenke@ftp4:0 01:52:50 /mirr/bin > A huge waste of space, isn't it? Next question: 20110?, four versions actually presented. emoenke@ftp4:0 02:05:21 /mirr/bin > du -s /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/2011* 18917340 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201101 2584728 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201102 12596740 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201105 1737556 /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201107 emoenke@ftp4:0 02:05:39 /mirr/bin > OK, much less, but why so much outdates stuff still there? Remember, you are not only wasting space on your master servers, but also on your willing mirrors. I guess the FreeBSD maintainers need a little bit more consciousness for the behalf of the mirror servers. You are - I guess - in the same "space wasting" unconsciousness like mandrivalinux and debian. A positive example for me is OpenSuSE. They are just aware, not more is needed. OK, I can silently disable mirroring /snapshots/, but the true way should be better.
