Hubbard" Sender: owner-hubs@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We've overflowed our 1st 4Gb partition there and now need to go to a 2nd, but that means splitting off some of the bits which were traditionally confined to one filesystem, and I'm still not sure what the effects on the mirrors is going to be. If you mirror individual collections, like pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE/, then you should be OK since mirror should follow the symlink. If you're grabbing all of pub/FreeBSD, however, what you're going to see afterwards is a link: 2.1.7.1-RELEASE -> ../../.3/FreeBSD/2.1.7.1-RELEASE I'm not quite sure what the "best" work-around for this is, but I just thought I'd mention it. Sorry folks, but it had to happen sooner or later - the ports and packages are huge! ;-) This doesn't effect users who get their bits from ftp.freebsd.org directly, of course, only those who mirror it.
