Orocos footprint

Hello,

Can anyone please estimate the disk usage (in GBytes) of a complete orocos sytem running with ubuntu? Our control PC will use solid state in stead of hard drive, and we do not want to exaggerate on buying disk space.

We believe 30 GB should be enough. Please comment on this guess.

30GB is definitely enough. I have a robot running on orocos + orogen. The
complete installation is 2G OS + 800M orocos (everything with sources and
build products).

The main driver for disk space is the amount you data you will want to log. I
have a colleague that has 3 high-res cameras and generate a 100GB/hour ...

We run an Ubuntu Hardy standard install, plus Orocos, plus our robotic software system, all on an 8GB SATA flash module. IIRC we have 2 or 3 GB free. Sylvain is absolutely right; the logging is what eats up disk space ...

dpkg -l | grep orocos | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dpkg -L | xargs file |
grep -v directory | awk '{print $1}' | sed -e "s/\://g" | xargs du -k |
awk '{ print $1,$2;sum+=$1;}END{print "Total Size",sum;}'

shows you the complete size of the files installed of the debian packages of
orocos. In my case with bfl + rtt + kdl - some ocl it's about 87Mb but I
agree with Sylvain and Stephen about the important size is the logging.
