ftp4.freebsd.org (a.k.a. ftp.cslab.vt.edu) is down while I try to put the pieces back together -- it suffered a major disk crash. Hopefully, it won't be down for more than a few days. In attempting to rebuild our mirrors of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and others I have once again come to the conclusion that 'mirror', the Perl script, seems wholly unsuited to the task of maintaining *large* mirrors. I recall seeing a post to this list (or perhaps freebsd-announce) about a new official mirror that mentioned a mirroring software package. However, I can't seem to find that post anywhere. Can someone bounce a copy of that post to me? Or better yet, offer suggestions of better software to take care of this task -- I find it hard to believe that ftp mirrors the world over are getting by with 'mirror'. -- Carl Harris Communication Systems Lead Engineer CNS Research and Development, Virginia Tech ceharris@vt.edu
