Thread: source mirrors
Hello, It seems to me that we are mirroring a minimum of twice as much data as we need to: 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 11775183 Oct 30 20:54 postgresql-8.1.15.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 67 Oct 30 20:55 postgresql-8.1.15.tar.bz2.md5 -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 14675054 Oct 30 20:54 postgresql-8.1.15.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 66 Oct 30 20:54 postgresql-8.1.15.tar.gz.md5 I suggest we eliminate either bz2 or gz.

I am not going to make a big deal out of it but it sure seems like a complete waste of space for our mirrors. Joshua D.

No but we have turned away mirroring things in the past due to space. Granted it was "a lot" of space (vmware images). Sincerely, Joshua D.

Which we rejected not for their storage requirements, but because they are very large files which would have a non-trivial bandwidth hit when ~90 mirrors rsync a new 740MB image within a few hours of each other. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
