Chris, how do I interpret the columns of that table? I'm guessing USED is the incremental storage needed for each snapshot?

[cmosetick]

@revodavid That is correct. The USED column indicates how much space a snapshot is currently using. The very top line, "raw usage", I added in to show that all historical archived versions of source packages, plus the current versions are using ~38.00GB at the moment. FYI - Originally the snapshots were just pulling down the current versions of packages, which is why there was a sudden, but still manageable jump in the size.
