Re: [CentOS-devel] Mock patch speeds up 'mock init' to 5 Seconds from cache (linked, rsync'd)

Therefore is the second copy named 'clean-cache-copy', which repairs the tainted files. The clean-cache-copy is _not_ linked and represent the original root cache. rsync syncs it to the 'linked-cache-copy' and ensures that the content is always the same before each mock build.

And do all mock builds link against this copy? What happens if you have 3-4 builds going on at the same time? Are there any files that would be linked between chroots? (If all the chroots link to linked-cache-copy then the answer would be yes)

If you are just making a copy for each chroot then that isn't really any different then just modifying existing behavior but removing the gzip on the tarball
