Mirror horrors



Hey,

(regarding the mirror on ftp.iglu.org.il)

Noticing kernel 2.4.4 didn't mirror, I finally went forward and erased
redhat-7.0 (adding it to the exclude rules too). The new kernel and a
bunch of Redhat updates should be fetched at those minutes, making an
effort to occupy those freed 11G once more :)

This step doesn't replace the need for setting a strict mirroring
policy once and for all. We currently have 70G of disk space available
for mirroring (yes, we submitted the disk pleas, but don't hold your
breath just yet). So, guys, I'm looking for your wise suggestions:

- I wish to set disk quotas per every major mirror, so that one mirror
could never prevent another from syncing. Anyone with suggestions of
how much space I should limit each mirror to?

- I wondered whether we should at some cases refrain from being a
"correct" mirror in order to provide the things the community really
needs most (ISO?). E.g. to mirror Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware (FreeBSD
anyone?) ISOs only? After all, we do this for the people, not for being
pedantic.

- Should we split resources with HUJIs and TAUs mirrors? Do they
provide the necessary content? Having fair enough user limits?
Maintained? Fast?
