If you don't mind, I would rather see that beak can stand on it's own for two more days before going ahead and erasing the Debian mirror from there.I'll give it a week more.
I'm hoping Oleg will take charge of coordinating them as well. We'll see.mirror.israel.net (Actcom's mirror server).
It's new to me. Will they become the an official kernel.org mirror so I could drop kernel.org from IGLU?
As a first step - let me know which parts are original material, and I'll mirror them from beak. Even if the servers are right next to each other, two disks are better than one.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?
IGLU, too, uses a Linear RAID partition. I bet IGLU has some original material in /pub/Hebrew and this *is* alarming.
Instead of creating a redundant disk configuration, we can take the
Linus approach: "Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to
an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it." In other words, create
redundancy by mirroring servers, preferably distant geographically. If
HUJI would mirror Kinneret too, I think it'd be enough.
BTW - beak lost a disk, and yet no data (except the mirrors) was lost. raid-1 is a beuty.
