Out of the generous 218 GB (and growing) that you have been given, how much have you folks used thus far? I am planning on making an offsite backup of all my photos and having Gallery manage my collection. Like my other sites, they are going to be relatively low-traffic with a good 'ol robots.txt to prevent crawlers from sifting through it. Thanks!

I am ashamed to admit it, but I actually use less than the extra (20GB or so) I have been given since being with DreamHost.

ha, i don't know where to hide myself. i use less than 1GB.

Can I share my extra space for somebody else and how?

I use a fair amount of bandwidth, not quite the total, but decent enough, because we offer Podcast files of our radio shows.

But storage space remains under 3GB, so far at least

At last check I've used only about 6GB. Need to try a little harder.

Lemme explain... I've been giving this some thought lately and am curious about other perspectives. My personal experience with DH's services has been a mixed record, but the most reliable service by far has been *disk access*. Through SSH and (S)FTP. And their backups appear to have been just as stable.

Through the magic of WEBDAV and SSHFS, I can easily open up that reliable remote storage to my users. Actually, I already do this but have been slow to migrate data to the new services enabled by this explosion of space(personal NFS!, remote backup as just two examples). In addition to disorganization, part of my slow adoption has been weariness over quickly becoming totally reliant on DH for access to my own data. Again, it's been their most reliable service in my experience but I don't have an SLA with these folks and *data loss* is THE original sin.

SO, I've been experimenting with different schemes that give me a bit of insurance. And I'm ready to open the taps a bit wider and begin to use more space. This all leads to a chain of thinking that leaves me hoping that whatever DH's formula for ("over")selling vs. growing REAL bandwidth is, it allows for a steeper "run curve" than perhaps similar formulas used by banks and the like when calculating what kind of reserves are appropriate.

(Information)technology sees incredibles spikes no? Think the use of video in the past 2 years vs. the 10 before them. While not known by everyone now, and used by even fewer, technologies like WEBDAV and SSHFS are already bleeding their way into Joe consumer's awareness. It's completely feasible to me that DH will see a noticeable spike in disk usage over the next year or two. I hope they'll be ready for it.

BTW, sshfs is much faster than webdav and has the extra bonus of not requiring you to have to setup https(and pay for a static ip) just to enjoy "secure" file services.

97 MB of 464656 MB <--- it's cause the server disk space isn't being calculated (now Kelly knows why he has to add so much space to the leary cluster).

Btw, I'm on code monster.
