Jun (and a few others) came up with a good structure for how ftp-master propagates stuff out and for cleaning up the existing structure a bit to allow for requests like the above, where some mirrors can carry ia64, but we really want to limit it since there is a load associated with mirroring from ftp-master also. some additional information o how often will you be doing snapshots? o total size of the snapshot, broken down - disk space for isos (how many?) - disk space for release tree - disk space for package tree if the total is less than a gig (1G) then it's not going to be a big deal at all. if it is more like 2 or 4G then it is an issue. regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
