We have 2167 lists. We don't turn on web archives by default, so not all 
lists are generating those, but it looks like 1412 of our lists have them. 
We have a default_archive_quota of 200MB, but many lists were established 
before that quota was set (and before I took over the service) or manually 
adjusted, so some individual lists may have higher or lower quotas for web 
archives.

Sympa's directory (includes all Sympa software, configs, and data as well as 
8 weeks of logs for Sympa and postfix) is currently at 14GB and it's 
database (MySQL) is at 59MB.

We have everything in one huge partition, but the machine was built using 
our standard Solaris JumpStart image, so we didn't have a lot of flexibility 
there. Hope that helps.

I didn't "switch" to Apple... my OS did.
