- What other mirrors Hamakor wishes IGLU to take instead?That's another one of Oleg's alleged responsibilities - make sure things are mirrored at most once per ISP. IGLU needs to be synched not only with beak, but also with mirrors.israel.net (Actcom's mirror server).
What we seriously need now is a meta-mirror on iglu.org.il: a list of
Linux distribution with each one pointing the Israeli mirror that holds it.
A few days someone asked me where she could find Redhat 9 in Israel - sheAs soon as the domain transfer completes, and we get someone who'll actually deliver on what he says.
checked in linux.org.il (the obvious guess) and found only Redhat 8 (!).
Luckily, I remembered that ftp://redhat.netvision.net.il held it (if you
try http to the same host, you get something completely different!).
But remember what each mirror holds is becoming nearly impossible, and
we need to keep such a list of links - probably somewhere very prominent
on linux.org.il.
Let's hope beak's HW problems thus far have been it's trying to feel at ease in its new home.I'm asking them this very question tonight. I feel ill at ease, however, to host such things on a linear-raid partition (what beak has for storage). What does IGLU use?If this is a mirror only, who cares if it's reliable or not?
Obviously having the machine fail twice a week is bad, but if it fails
one every couple of years, it's not such a terrible problem.
