Jeff -- thanks that is exactly the sort of thing
I'm looking for.
What I don't understand is how this fits in with the "no-crawler" policy?
The number of people with 2.5 TB lying around to use to host Wikipedia's
images and workspace for thumbnails and rendering does not seem to be that
large. Wikix is not very intrusive in any event.
Better have a lot of space. As of 20071018 dump, the total for all
images is:
[root@gadugi ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb3 473G 9.1G 440G 3% /
/dev/sdb1 388M 14M 354M 4% /boot
tmpfs 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 1.1T 330G 716G 32% /wikidump
/dev/hda3 112G 36G 71G 34% /w
/dev/sdb4 616G 406G 179G 70% /image
[root@gadugi ~]#
406GB for total image payload for the English Wikipedia.
