Should be about right.

It's new to me. Will they become the an official kernel.org mirror so I
could drop kernel.org from IGLU?

IGLU, too, uses a Linear RAID partition. I bet IGLU has some original
material in /pub/Hebrew and this *is* alarming.

Instead of creating a redundant disk configuration, we can take the
Linus approach: "Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to
an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it." In other words, create
redundancy by mirroring servers, preferably distant geographically. If
HUJI would mirror Kinneret too, I think it'd be enough.
