1. It could be. We run a mirror on a 100Mb/s connection and it CAN max it out. It doesn't all the time though. 2. Use shell locking when you run the script. Attached is what we use. Which grabs the mirror from mysnc, And then the dvd's from another mirror. ---------------------------------------- From: "Digimer" <linux at alteeve.com> Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 11:19 AM To: "Mailing list for CentOS mirrors." <centos-mirror at centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-mirror] Two noob questions Hi all, I've mirrored CentOS (http://centos.alteeve.com), initially to be a local mirror for our DC. I've been thinking about making it publicly available, but I was concerned about the load it might place on the server. I remember seeing somewhere an estimate on the bandwidth to expect, but I seem to fail at Google and can't find that again. So, first question; If I become a public mirror on a server with a 100Mbit connection, will my uplink likely become saturated? Second question; with regards to locking to prevent rsync calls from overstepping one another, what do most people do? The docs said to ask here. :) Cheers! -- Digimer E-Mail: digimer at alteeve.com AN!Whitepapers: http://alteeve.com Node Assassin: http://nodeassassin.org _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
