How much space for mirror?

[stanb@netcom.com (Stan Brown)]

	 I would like to mirror locally the soon to be stable (AKA frozen) and
	 the next version of unstable. I want both source abd 1386 binaries.
	 How much space do I need? 

	 I pointed mirror to a 12.G disk with the folowing control file:



# Example parameter file for the Debian GNU/Linux "mirror" package
#
# This serves as an illustration for a valid mirror parameter file. See the
# man page mirror(1) and the files in /usr/doc/mirror/examples/* for details.
#
# You can use this as a starting point for a local mirror of parts of the
# Debian distribution. As an example, it is set up to ignore non-i386 
# architecture, sources, msdos-8.3-named files, the mailing list archives
# as well as the WebPages for www.debian.org. It will take up around 200 MB.
#
# It worked for me when I wrote it, but it might fail for you. No warranties 
# whatsoever. Use at your own risk.

package=Debian
	#
	comment=Mirror of parts of ftp.debian.org/pub/debian
	#	
	# specify remote host and directory
	site=ftp.debian.org
	remote_dir=/pub/debian
	#
	# specify local directory
	local_dir=/net/kodiak/mirror/debian
	#
	# inform this user about results
	mail_to=root
	#
	# compress these files (see perlre(1) for regular expressions)
	compress_patt=\.*(Contents|Packages|Packages-Master|ls-lR|contents|md5sums|Maintainers)$
	#
	# exclude these files or directories 
	# see "man perlre" for information on perl's regular expressions
	exclude_patt=(rex/|unstable/|development/|experimental/|ms-dos/|msdos-i386/|private/|debian-bugs/|debian-lists/|binary-alpha/|binary-sparc/|binary-m68k/|Incoming/|WebPages/|local/|.mirrorinfo|binary-m68k|binary-sparc|binary-alpha|Debian-1.2-fixed|Debian-1.2-updates|Debian-1.2.17|rex-fixed|rex-updates)
	#
	# preserve these files or directories (see perlre(1) for reg. expr.)
	delete_excl=(local$)
	#
	# do not delete if more than 20% of all files would vanish
	max_delete_files=20%
	#
	# this speeds up the construction of the remote ls-lR by pruning
	recurse_hard=true

	And nowit's full. Is this reasonable? How big a disk do I need? for
	this?

	Thanks.
