What software do you use for mirroring? It should copy symbolic links as-is, not try to follow them. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

If I don't get enough offers I might take you up on that but at least for now the goal is to get back to having each of the cvsup*.freebsd.org entries being unique machines. The higher numbered machines do seem to wind up with less traffic, one of mine is cvsup18 and it only sees around 200/day. > What would you recommend for kern.maxvnodes? Thanks That depends on how much physical memory the machine has and what else it's doing. For my machines, which are just mirror systems, I have: Dual Opteron 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM: kern.maxvnodes = 250000 maximum cvsupd clients = 40 Quad Xeon 2.4GHZ, 8GB RAM: kern.maxvnodes = 350000 maximum cvsupd clients = 40 Dual Xeon 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM: kern.maxvnodes = 150000 maximum cvsupd clients = 20 The second one is ftp-archive.freebsd.org as well as being a cvsupd server. With 20GB RAM if the machine isn't doing much else you could probably crank maxvnodes up to over the number of files in the repository itself (looks to be a little over 570000 files in it at the moment). The other performance tweak that helps a *lot* is to make sure you mount the partition the repository is in using noatime. The first machine listed above handles around 3000 connects per day comfortably with that configuration. It's the one I let accumulate a few too many of the TLD names though (three at the moment), those are some of what I'm trying to find a new home for. :-) I only have the second machine doing significant-ish cvsupd stuff when I need it to take over for site(s) that died while I look to find a new site to take it over. If a cvsupd server has been down for a while it can wind up getting *slammed* when it comes back to life. I took over for one that had been down for quite a while on Friday and it wound up handling over 7,000 requests the first day. So... I usually try to take over on one of my machines first to get through that and then get an idea of what the normal daily traffic is so I can tell the new site what they're in for... -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Most of the entries I wanted to reassign have been taken care of, and in the process we now have two sites not located in the USA which is good. I don't *need* to reassign the last one (I've at least gotten to the point all the TLD sites are on unique machines) but if there are any other established sites that aren't TLD sites that could handle some extra traffic I do have one more that could be reassigned. If possible I wouldn't mind getting a well-connected site in either Europe or Russia. And again I'd prefer a site that's been operational for a while so the operators have had some experience. It would be cvsup6.freebsd.org you get. Because that site had been down for quite a while at the moment it's seeing virtually no traffic (I'm getting about 100 connects/day on the machine that's temporarily stepped in to handle it) but given it's a pretty low number through time it will likely increase as people notice it's alive again. And... Now it's also time to do the same thing for the cvsup*.us.freebsd.org sites. A few too many of those names point at my machines too. For these sites they should be in the USA, and you don't need to have been a public mirror before (though having run a cvsup server for a while would help :-). The us.freebsd.org sites *typically* see less traffic than the TLD sites. But as you can see from the above paragraph it's sort of a "stepping stone" towards becoming a TLD site. If you're interested in starting to provide a public cvsup mirror in the USA let me know please.

I've already acquired the domains freebsd.org.in and freebsdindia.com But right now the main issue is of bandwidth in India so I was thinking of setting up the Mirror on a US based server with good connectivity to India. I currently have few servers with a datacentre in US and they are now about to get bandwidth from Tata Communications which is an Indian Company and have good connectivity to all major Indian ISP's as Tata Communications is one of the largest bandwidth provider in India. Please suggest if I should go for it? And if I setup the mirror can I get it listed as official mirror of freebsd.org for India and whenever bandwidth conditions improves in India or if I can get any sponsor in India for hosting the mirror I can move the site to an Indian Server. I can sponsor and maintain the mirror server in US till I get some sponsor for Indian Server. Please give your thoughts about it. Kapil Jain
