2.2 Storage Requirements

A Spacewalk proxy should have a minimum of 4 GB of memory.

Typically, the proxy cache requires 10 GB of storage for each combination of Oracle Linux release and architecture.

By default, a Spacewalk proxy caches packages under the /var/spool/squid directory hierarchy and is limited to using up to 60% of the free space in the file system that contains this directory hierarchy.
