So, I read the blurb that strongly advises against doing an iso-based

I have a bunch of machines to upgrade to both the workstation and
server products. Having each one download everything it needs, is
going to get real old.
In the past I simply rsync-ed the installation image. I have
plenty of
disk space on the LAN. Then I just fedup-ed everything from my
rsynced
image. This was almost the most efficient way to get everything
updated.
Is there a single repository that I can keep rsync-ing regularly, and
use it to upgrade my machines – to both workstation and server
products – over a period of time?
I have always done my own rsyncing for local repos. But was
pointed to
the place to do it right:

Once you have your local repo, point yum to it and off you go.
About how much space would a local mirror take?
I have multiple machines and in the same boat.
# du -hs *
41G i386
44G x86_64
This is for OS only. Last download was sunday, so the final might have
be a bit more, or a bit less. Of course updates grow and grow.
From the link provided, they show the full maximum, and it is over 500g.
Well yeah, what with multiple versions, sources, debug, etc. I just
pull down the part of the tree I need. I currently do things like:
screen rsync -auv --delete
rsync://fedora.mirrors.pair.com/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/os/
/media/usbdrive/repos/fedora/21/os/x86_64
But it is failing remotely. Screen is just terminating without telling
me why. Will have to wait to I get home (sitting in the Delta lounge in
LAX after my last customer meeting for the year).
I will look for a drive and setup a 1T space as I have to add
rpmfusion as well.
Thanks for the quick response.
