There are 3 (or more) computers which sync (sometimes daily) on my LAN at work: server, router, and workstation. server has issues almost all the time getting a rsync server (for lack of better way to state it). All three comps have the exact same SYNC in make.conf:
mingdao@server ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/make.conf SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" mingdao@router ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/portage/make.conf SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" mingdao@workstation ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/portage/make.conf SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" When I first noticed, it was that with the same command (alias ud) run on each computer, server *always* took a good deal longer than workstation and router. Here's the output from the emerge --sync portion of my "ud" alias today: alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjuv --changed-use @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit' server ~ # ud * Running emerge --sync >>> Synchronization of repository 'gentoo' located in '/usr/portage'... >>> Starting rsync with rsync://128.61.111.9/gentoo-portage... >>> Checking server timestamp ... timed out rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(549) [Receiver=3.0.9] >>> Retrying... >>> Starting retry 1 of 9 with rsync://209.59.138.21/gentoo-portage >>> Checking server timestamp ... timed out rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(549) [Receiver=3.0.9] >>> Retrying... >>> Starting retry 2 of 9 with rsync://128.175.60.112/gentoo-portage >>> Checking server timestamp ... timed out rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(549) [Receiver=3.0.9] >>> Retrying... >>> Starting retry 3 of 9 with rsync://129.21.171.98/gentoo-portage >>> Checking server timestamp ... receiving incremental file list timestamp.chk Number of files: 1 Number of files transferred: 1 Total file size: 32 bytes Total transferred file size: 32 bytes Literal data: 32 bytes Matched data: 0 bytes File list size: 27 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 98 Total bytes received: 140 sent 98 bytes received 140 bytes 158.67 bytes/sec total size is 32 speedup is 0.13 receiving incremental file list router ~ # ud * Running emerge --sync >>> Synchronization of repository 'gentoo' located in '/usr/portage'... >>> Starting rsync with rsync://208.100.4.53/gentoo-portage... >>> Checking server timestamp ...
