I haven't checked, but I would wager that the total storage required for a past release + update + build-service even for x86, x86_64, ppc, etc. isn't more that 25G.
You might want to guess again. I don't mirror PPC packages, only having the one PPC based system, and the present space used by update mirrors are: davjam@playing:/media/share/suse/i386/update> du --max-depth=1 -h 8.5G ./9.1 11G ./9.3 24G ./10.1 19G ./10.2 15G ./10.3 2.8G ./11.0 4.0K ./11.1 79G . While my network installation sources use: davjam@playing:/media/share/suse/i386/update/10.3> du --max-depth=1 -h /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/ 0 /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/makeSUSEdvd-src 7.9G /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/openSUSE-10.2-GM 17G /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/openSUSE-10.3-GM 6.8G /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/openSUSE-11.0 0 /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/openSUSE-factory 32G /mounts/cobra-mk3/local/ My local installation source for 10.3 was created using the DVDs from the boxed set as the initial source, and then used rsync and the OSS to make it work properly. For 10.2, I used the boxed set DVD. I haven't (yet) mirrored the OSS repo. The same method was used to create my 11.0 repo, and that is yet to have rsync and the OSS repo "treatment".
