Hi Colin,
On our side at triplecheck we are increasing the infrastructure, exactly with the intention of filling it up with software. Would happily make available 1Tb of long term storage or more as needed to save the old ISOs at no cost.
The only nuisance is that we can't give direct access to the storage for security reasons (it is cut off from the Internet). Still, it is possible to download through a request mechanism that puts the needed files on a public server for download.
We are negotiating the infrastructure growth, around the 1st of November should be possible to confirm that we can host these files.

Hi all,
Thanks to Dmitry Chapyshev's generous donation of rare FB-DIMM memory modules, our Buildserver has enough RAM for the Win7 buildslave VM now.
I've fired it up and while builds are much slower than before, they are at least being done again! Note that Doxygen, ISO hosting, and all three buildslaves are on a single HDD-backed server right now, so don't expect any performance miracles. I'm counting on Aleksey here to get us our remaining servers back this month :)
Unfortunately, our HDDs were also lacking space, so I had to move the public "bootcd_old" folder from iso.reactos.org to another (private) place. It contained BootCD ISOs from 2009 to 2012, totalling 421GB. Any idea how to deal with them in the long run? I can basically think of 4 possibilities:
- We remove ISOs older than 4 years, because nobody would really do
regression-testing with them.
- We buy additional HDDs every year and continue to host them ourselves
just next to the newer ISOs.
- We find a free file hosting service for OSS projects that can cope
with these amounts of data. Not sure SF.net is the right choice here..
- We choose a paid data storage service like Amazon AWS.
As always, comments are very welcome!
