  • Throughput of the Big 8 hierarchies

    From Tanguy Ortolo@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 14 08:14:01 2017
    Hello,

    I am configuring my newly installed new server, and I am considering distributing the Big 8 hierarchies. To help with that decision, would
    anyone have some figures about the data throughput of these hierarchies?
    By that, I mean something like how many me{ga|bi}bytes of data are
    received each day on comp.*, humanities.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*,
    soc.* and talk.*.

    I also need to determine how much storage space that will take depending
    on the retention time I will set, but this is simply a matter of making
    one multiplication. Okay, that does not take cancellations into
    account. :-)

    Cheers,

    I’ve been tracking this information since 2010.

    I use FreeBSD with ZFS, which does very efficient transparent
    compression, and I run inn with tradspool and tradindex on that with no
    limit on retention. A full text feed (with alt and others) is maybe
    10GB a year. Stats are on http://csiph.com/.

    Kevin

    Wonderful, thank you! Well, I will have no problem distributing the Big
    8 with 90 days of retentions I think.

    Thank you! I have already started distributing the Big 8, that now
    confirms this is working. :-)
