Hi, I've been digging around mrepo and still have one last question: in terms of sizing, on page https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToInstall, it is told to plan 6GB per channel. What is the sizing requirement for mrepo per channel? As the mrepo is synced with spacewalk, only spacewalk-pushed rpms have to be backuped. I'm planning to store mrepo on local low perfs disks.
