I am building a low power mini box to run Cumulus. What is the recommended hard drive size for the program and data? (I looked in the FAQ and Wiki for the answer without any luck)

It depends to a certain extent on what logging interval you choose. I use a 5 minute interval, and my current Cumulus installation, going back nearly six years, is about 120 megabytes, and currently increasing in size by about a megabyte a month. As I slowly add to the features, this figure will increase. But it's still going to take a very long time to fill even the smallest hard drive currently available, I would imagine.

Excellent! That's the answer I was looking for. Many thanks!
