So we built a new mirror server, which promptly ran out of disk space available on its 2TB array. Seems I underestimated things slightly :) The new-new ftp.uk.freebsd.org is now up and running and happily updating itself with 5TB of free space remaining - about 3/4 of the way through the rebuild of its data. I trust that will hold for a while. Any pointers as to how we can regain rsync access[1] to a master site please? Emails to ftp-master@freebsd.org[2] on 6, 29 July and 29 Sept have so far gone unanswered. - CK [1] That's the contact address you get from the banner when doing rsync rsync://ftp-master.freebsd.org/ [2] I know the banner asks to use cvsup instead, but seriously - I had it running for days on end and it didn't get very far. Suggesting that rsync really is still preferable for main mirrors[3] [3] Once we have rsync access restored, I'm more than happy for people to mirror off us as well. We'll be a full mirror again, updating daily and bandwdth is cheap :)
