I'm relatively sure a fair chunk of the site contact info I have is ... stale. So... If you are an Official FreeBSD Mirror Site and plan to carry the upcoming FreeBSD-4.9 release please reply to this straight to me (NOT a global reply). The information I would like to collect is: FreeBSD name: Real site name: Site Contact(s): [*REAL* email address, who would send mirror-admin email] Public Contact(s): [*may* go on Web site like cvsup maintainer does now] Content: [ISO's/release files/packages] Access Methods: [FTP/rsync/cvsup/http] Upstream Host: [where you feed from] Sync Mechanism: [how you download - cvsup/rsync/omi/mirror/etc] For a fictional site this would be: FreeBSD name: ftp20.us.freebsd.org Real site name: coggsworth.cse.buffalo.edu Site Contact(s): kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu Public Contact(s): hostmaster@cse.buffalo.edu Content: everything Access Methods: ftp/rsync Upstream Host: ftp-master.us.freebsd.org Sync Mechanism: rsync I'll do my best to merge the information collected this way with what I collected through other ways. If you send me email describing your site and the contact info is radically different from what I collected from existing information I *might* have more questions for you. The information collected will be used for a variety of projects I've mentioned I wanted to do - mapping out the current "tiering" structure, generating an authoritative list of the mirror sites, the beginnings of that announce-only email list for all of the mirror sites to be on, etc. Since I'm hoping to get a fairly large number of replies to this I'll say "Thanks in advance". I probably won't be able to reply to everyone who responds saying Thanks... -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | From owner-freebsd-hubs@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Sep 4 18:59:53 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1A44616A4BF for ; Thu, 4 Sep 2003 18:59:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU [128.205.32.2]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2D79543FE5 for ; Thu, 4 Sep 2003 18:59:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU) Received: from electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (kensmith@localhost [127.0.0.1]) h851xplu002994 for ; Thu, 4 Sep 2003 21:59:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from kensmith@localhost) by electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU (8.12.9/8.12.9/Submit) id h851xpaK002993 for freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org; Thu, 4 Sep 2003 21:59:51 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 21:59:51 -0400 From: Ken Smith To: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20030905015951.GA2807@electra.cse.Buffalo.EDU> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Subject: ftp-master.us.freebsd.org partially open for business...

Its TCP output seemed to hit a wall very fast. Maybe FreeBSD-5.2 will work out a bit better on this platform. So, I now have an i386 architecture machine in place. Like the real ftp-master it has 2Gb of memory in it so it should be able to handle a reasonable number of clients. I still haven't got cvsupd working but rsyncd seems to be working just fine and I'm cvsup-ing 4 times a day from ftp-master.freebsd.org. The current ACL from ftp-master.freebsd.org is in place on this machine now too. If you use rsync and connect to ftp-master.freebsd.org please take a little time to compare the ping times you get from it versus ftp-master.us.freebsd.org. If you seem to get better response from ftp-master.us please give rsync-ing from it a try and if the performance seems reasonable please just sync from it. If you do evaluate the performance of ftp-master.us please let me know one way or another what you decide to do. I would like to have a rough idea of who decides to stick with using this machine instead of ftp-master.freebsd.org (don't worry, we won't be removing access to ftp-master.freebsd.org if you say you switched). If you evaluate it and find that its performance isn't good enough I'd like to know so I can look into why - at least hardware-wise this machine should be a match for ftp-master.freebsd.org. :-) I'll keep working on getting cvsupd set up.
