I added support for rsync today, and I have used my boxes to test it. The URL for rsync is "rsync://mirrors.crazeekennee.com/gentoo-portage". I put rsyncd in the default run level, so if the power cycles, it'll still be available. Also, my box now rsyncs from "rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" every 4 hours, starting at 12:30. Is that too often? Shouldn't be. Looking forward to hearing from the Gentoo team as to whether they can use my box or not. If not, I'll just take it down and reclaim the GBs. Just increased my bandwidth to 10 MB/s upstream. Hope this helps Gentoo use my mirror. :) mirror looks good. 966.68K/s to western Canada. Please provide hardware specs. Hardware specs: Server built from new parts is early May 2007. 500 GB Western Digital HDD 1 AMD Opteron dual-core processor, socket F (1207), 2.0 GHz 1 GB DDR2 667 RAM TYAN AMD dual-socket F (1207) Mainboard 650W PS 4U Antec case In the near future I will be adding more HDDs (currently 1), putting them into RAID 5, adding 1 more GB RAM, and adding a second dual-core processor. I need a few months to pay this one off first. :) On that note, can any recommend the best way to improve mirror performance? Is it add another processor, another ethernet port, more RAM, etc ? Or maybe have each mirrored content (I also just became a mirror for Eclipse and Apache) on their own RAID subsystems? Thank you. :) You can speed up rsync by utilizing a RAM drive, though you are pretty well limited to 10Mbit, which isn't much. Thanks for the RAM drive idea. And 10 MB is what I can afford right now. Currently, I'm uploading ~300 GB per day. The latest report of my mirror is viewable at : http://analog.crazeekennee.com The monthly stats may be misleading, as I got added to Eclipse.org and Apache.org at the end of May. They will be more of a representative sample by the last week of June 2007. The weekly stats, however, are a good indication of the health of my mirror. Hope Gentoo hops on board. :) Now uploading 1/2 TB per day. See http://analog.crazeekennee.com for the latest details. Where is the machine located? The mirror is located in Narragansett, RI USA. I have recently become an official extended mirror for OpenOffice.org, and currently serve 1.5 TB per day of data. I'd sure love to be a Gentoo mirror too !!! Hi I just ran a check, and it looks like there's a slight lag. * Timestamp on mirrors.crazeekennee.com is Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:08:04 +0000 * Current time in UTC is Thu Aug 16 16:32:17 UTC 2007 Please make sure you're syncing once in 4 hours as mentioned in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/source_mirrors.xml Mirror isn't online anymore. Please re-open when fixed. Nobody showed any interest and it wasn't being used, so I took it down. Kenneth, sorry for that. If you're still interested, you can re-open this bug. Thanks. |
