Currently indefinitely. The server (thanks OSUOSL!) can hold 600G of
snapshots. Currently (after a year) it generated/collected 60G of
snapshots. So we should be good for another 9 years...

Of course we all know these things grow more rapidly than you
expect. So pessimistically we probably have to make some retention
decission in about a year :)

What do people think is a good policy?

- Just keep one snapshot a day after a year.
- Only keep snapshots for 1, 2 or 3 years.
- Just throw money at it, disks are cheap.
  Just buy another 600G when it fills up?

Currently we don't actually pay anything thanks to OSUOSL. But there
is a Sourceware hardware replacement fund that allows us to pay for
extra disks if necessary. https://sourceware.org/donate.html

Cheers,

Mark
