Re: [eclipse-mirrors] Size of a full Eclipse mirror?
|
I'm just back from vacation and I'm catching up. Here are a few thoughts:
Size: In my opinion, 350G for a Full Eclipse mirror is just insane, and
it's unreasonable of us to expect our mirrors to dedicate so much disk
space for us. I'm working with some folks on solving this issue. We
may end up having an explicit include list to only include specific
high-traffic projects and exclude everything else.
Permissions: When our mirror was small (<60G) we ran a script every 15
minutes to fix broken permissions. After a while, that script would
take 20 minutes to run, and would create ridiculous disk I/O. Some
mirror maintainers said the home site was too slow, so I stopped fixing
permissions.
Some of our projects build using servers in Eclipse.org's colo facility,
using local file systems. This cuts down on our bandwidth costs and
build complexity, since everything is local. Placing additional burden
on our beloved OSS developers (by forcing them to use rsync, for
instance) is not what I want to do.
In short: I am well aware of the pain you are experiencing, and I am
doing something about it. Thanks for your patience and mostly, thanks
for being an Eclipse mirror.
