Hello Dev,

An additional server is certainly welcome. You might want to know a
bit more about the mirror network before you volunteer for a master.
Are there any disk space / bandwidth restrictions (other than the
100MBit you mentioned) in place?
Are you free in the configuration of the URL path?
I should mention that initially we were going to offer the
openoffice.collab.net as one of the mirror site for the month of
October, but with the recent delay not sure what our commitment would be
for the site.
Regarding disk space, we have plenty of disk space for the current
category 1 data and we can accommodate more if needed.
We thought openoffice.collab.net was pretty good url :). Is there a
standard url a mirror site should be using? What did you have in mind?
As a upstream mirror site, do I just need to have the rsync with -daemon
option running or do I need to have a web server available as well?
Louis Suarez-Potts told me you are the technical contact for the
project and maybe able to help me with a couple of questions. I've
read the distribution/mirror home page, joined the project,
subscribed to dev and announce mailing list, sent an email to the dev
mailing list with my mirror's information, and I've done my first
rsync from the Indiana University's rsync server.
Sounds good. So you are prepared.
You might want to setup a cronjob to sync every 6-8 hours with your
upstream server IU or Mike's snt.utwente.nl.
I've set this up already to rsync from IU.
What is the name of the site that I should be syncing my data from?
Should I be keep rsync'ing from Indiana University or is there ONE
master server that the other master mirror sites should be rsync'ing
from? And how often should the master mirror sites should be doing
the rsync? I read your email posting to dev last night about
suggesting to use the --hard-link option with rsync, what is the
reason behind using the --hard-link option? Is it critical that we
use this option for rsync? I've rsync'ed my data without the
--hard-link option and I don't know what kind of behavior it will
generate if I use this option (I don't want the next rsync to take 24
hours to finish).
A good question for [email protected]
So, can anyone on the list tell me if its critical to rsync with
--hard-link or not? It might use a little bit more disk space, but I'm
wondering how long rsync will take if we we use the --hard-link option
after we've been doing rsync without that option.
Thank you.
-Leesa
