As a reminder, this will be a rather large release hmm. well, it's been about 10 hours now and i haven't seen anything appearing yet, so i'm assuming this is going to be towards the latter part of those 12 hours :-) > > > when it's on ftp-master, how much delay will there be before it makes > > > it to ftp.freebsd.org and other mirrors ? > > > > ftp.freebsd.org mirrors from ftp-master every 6 hours, but I guess > > it probably takes some hours to transfer the data from ftp-master > > to ftp i guess my point was once it starts appearing everyone will swamp ftp.freebsd.org and/or the other main mirrors.. 6 hours seems reasonable. do you guys have an estimate on how long it takes to mirror a release ? more out of curiousity - it's sometimes taken 2-3 days to get a single ISO image from the previous ftp.freebsd.org for me. i estimate a full 4.4 release will take approximately a week to get mirrored into australia - so expect to see a very large number of australian users hitting your site in denmark, via the USA's network.. > I've seen a couple of mirrors that were running 3 or 4 rsyncs in parallel > on the same file... each one corrupting the work that the others were doing > and causing the file to be trashed and start all over again next time around > etc. i don't believe *any* mirror should have more than one rsync or cvsup or ftp connection on a regular basis (two perhaps, for short term stuff, e.g a fetch is happening and one session is being used to ls or generate listings) to ftp-master as this provides for inequity of access to all mirrors. > Many people seem to be having more success with cvsup vs. rsync -z on the > large .iso files. i would recommend turning off compression support myself, since i've found it has little benefit except on archives of mainly text files and causes more trouble than its worth on the server and the client end. regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hubs" in the body of the message
