    I do the same thing.  In fact, sometimes I even NFS-mount /usr/obj
    across the internet and make installworld is still faster than compiling
    it up locally on the slow box :-)

Thank you so much Antonio and Matt. Works perfectly :-)

 Hi,

 I have a Backup Server on another Floor.
 It runs on Qemu with the OS on a qcow2 Virtual Disk ( file ) and
 Backup Data on Two Physical Disks.
 It mirrors from Master PFSes  on backup server on another floor. Also
 It's own master PFSes are backed up by the slaves on the other one.

 Make Build takes a very long time on it Some times more than 8 hours.
 Possibly due to the Poor perfaomance on the UnderLying REAL Hardware.

 In order to update it is it enough that I rsync /usr/src  and
 /usr/obj/usr/src from the faster server after building 'world' and
 'kernel' and then run only

 # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC  make installworld  make
 upgrade  reboot

 If not what it the best way to update a slower machine?

I usually buildworld on the fastest box around me then cpdup the
/usr/obj to the relative slow boxes.  However, I still let slow boxes
compile their own kernels.

Best Regards,
sephe

Kernel is alright :-)

Siju,

I NFS mount /usr/src and /usr/obj in the slow machine (being the NFS
server the faster machine) and then I issue the usual
installkernel/installworld/upgrade commands.

Cheers,
