In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I don't know about others, but personally the time wasted fooling with loopback mounts out weighs the cost of a few GBs of storage. I don't have the time to waste when drives are as cheap as they are. You would also have to do special configuration of your mirror scripts, blah blah. Much, much easier to just sic your scripts on the entire directory and let it maintain itself. -b On Mon, 22 Jan 2001, Gordon Tetlow wrote: > has anyone thought of using loopback mounts (vn0, vn1) for the various iso > images so you don't need to download essentially 2 copies of everything > for a release (once in the ISO and once in the x.y-RELEASE directory)? > Just a curious thought that struck me as I try to figure out the easiest > way to create my mirror. > > -gordon > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
