Description of problem:

Download server is currently not replicated. We should have a mirror to cope with various failure.

Among the option, I stumbled on http://ossplanet.net/ , we should take a look on it.

Current disk usage:

$ ssh root@download.gluster.org df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1 79G 33G 43G 44% /
devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 1.8G 209M 1.6G 12% /run
tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/vg_download-lv_www_pub 110G 104G 6.3G 95% /var/www/html
/dev/mapper/vg_download-lv_bitergia_logs 60G 48G 13G 80% /srv/bitergia
tmpfs 354M 0 354M 0% /run/user/0

Having a mirror will have implication on bitergia download stats however.

I am one of the mirror and infra admins of ftp.nluug.nl.

We can offer a mirror for gluster at ftp.nluug.nl free of any charge
It is reachable by ftp, rsync, http and https and connected with 10 Gb/s

we mirror a lot of opensource projects and distributions
our location is europe/amsterdam

We offer download stats per month see: http://ftp.nluug.nl/.statistics/
For example the Ovirt project had 586873 hits and transferred a total of 540.211 Mb this month.

We are a mirror server of a lot of opensource projects since 1998.

Mike Hulsman
