Bug Description

There are following topics in docs missing the storage planning details for master node:
1)http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/planning-guide.html#fuel-master-node-hardware-recommendations
2)http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/planning-guide.html#planning-summary
3)http://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-6.0/planning-guide.html#calculating-storage

The documentation should explain:
* how to plan the storage capacities for
   - PostgreSQL DB (shares /var)
   - Remote logs (/var/log partition)
   - Docker images (shares /var)
   - Repository (shares /var)
or at least provide more details about planning /var and /var/log capacities with examples, as currently there is only 50Gb of disk space recommended for the master node, but this would be not enough for large deployments of 100+ nodes.

JFYI, there is also kinda related drafts of planning capacities https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/manage-logs-with-free-space-consideration, feel free to comment and turn it into the corresponding docs or specs

not sure we'll be in time for 6.1. I'm moving the task to 7.0.
It there a great need to update 5.x documentation? I believe, we could focus on 6.x only.

Our docs still says
https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-8.0/mos-planning-guide.html#sysreq-fuel-mn-hw-reqs
128GB SAS Disk for fuel master
Customers continue to deploy with small disk, and it causing problems for them.

As quick fix, can we just substitute the line:
128GB SAS Disk
with something like this:
Disk size depends on number of nodes that will be deployed using fuel, since all nodes send logs to fuel master node using rsyslog. During installation fuel creates separate partition for /var, where remote logs are stored, and allocates 40% of disk to it. Our recommendation for remote logs partition is 20gb per node. So, if you deploy 10 nodes with fuel you need to have (20*10)*2.5 = 500GB disk for fuel master.
