Disk Space on Downloads

Description

Just wanted to catch it before it became a problem. Current use as of Mar 14, 2011 on downloads.osgeo.org /dev/hda1 108G 88G 15G 86% /

I realize OSGeo Live is a big culprit of filling the space, but we would like to keep old versions available in some way. Any chance we can get more storage attached to this node or put an archive on a different server?

I second that: keeping old versions is essential to be able to demonstrate prior art.

The new 'backup' machine at OSL contains, in addition to its planned objective, an archive of 'download.osgeo.org'. Precisely it's pulling a nightly Rsync-Backup from 'download' without deleting old files (with the exception of daily/nightly snapshots of GDAL and MapServer).

Not that I'm in favour of this particular use of this machine, because it's stealing disk space which would otherwise be used for versioned backups of the various OSGeo project stuff, but in theory there already is an archive of old versions from 'download'.

This ticket is obsolete. New download has about 1.5 TB allocated and far from running out of disk space.
