If you have one computer which uses yum as normal, then NFS shares out the /var/cache/yum/*/packages to the other computers. Then the other computers would mount into their /var/cache/yum*/packages directories, when you use yum on them, they'd use whatever packages are found in there (not caring whether it was local or over NFS), and store anything that they download into the common directories on your server. I suggest only sharing the packages sub-directories, not the whole /var/cache/yum tree. This allows local computers to keep their own metadata, etc. And updating one wouldn't stomp on the data needed by another box. I wouldn't do a yum update simultaneously on two or more boxes, though. I don't know how it'd take to two boxes both trying to download the same RPM file to the same place. I've done something along these lines in the past. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
