That's basically correct. >> How did you create this mirror? > > It's a very simple apache proxy with disk cache. Ah, I see. While a few individuals have reported success with using an web proxy cache, that's not something that has been tested yet, so perhaps you've run into a subtle issue with that particular configuration. Support for using web proxy caches was only recently added, and it only works for specific operations (manifest, file, catalog). >>> The worst bug is that all files are downloaded >> twice from the repository, also, the files >> /dev/catalog/1/catalog.attrs and /dev/versions/0/ are >> fetched 166 times. >> >> What leads you to believe that all of the files are >> downloaded twice from the repository? > > Sorry, I'm wrong for this, I've made the installation on Virtualbox and > captured the traffic from host.

Yes, it may not always use the mirror, and that wouldn't be a bug. However, it may not be using the mirror as often as it could or should. However, when you say package files, are you talking about /file/0/ requests? When you're analysing the traffic, are you ensuring that you are only tracking requests made to your local Apache proxy and ignoring requests that the proxy might make itself to pkg.opensolaris.org? >> I'm also confused as to how many servers these >> numbers are based off of. >> Are these just numbers from an install of a single >> server? > > So, they are 150 packages and 20k files downloaded for a single server > install. 150 package is the number of packages listed by 'pkg list' after an install? Another thing that might be contributing to this is how AI is performing the installs. Can you provide the full install log? -- Shawn Walker
