Greetings,

If you want to setup a complete ftp mirror, like all the ftpX.freebsd.org
machines, you're going to want to have at least 55 gigs of free space
(for now at least). Here is what ftp10.freebsd.org's df output is:

Filesystem    Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ccd0c    139G    49G    78G    39%    /freebsd

Yeah so you dont need 55 gigs at the moment.. but the archive keeps
growing.

As for cvsup, if you mirror cvs-all/gnats/www/mail-archive, it will take
up around 1.2gigs of space, again, for now.

Setting up a cvsup mirror is very simple:

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror
# make install clean
It will ask you a couple questions, and then it sets itself up.

Everyone has a different way of setting up thier ftp mirror.. but I'm
using rsync which grabs the archive from ftp-master a couple times a day.
If you want more in depth info about this, you're going to have to search
this mailing list's archive for it.

Just in case you're interested, you can see ftp10's usage stats at:

Hope this helps,
-val
