cvsup, mirrors and data integrity
So I have a cvsup mirror, set up with net/cvsup-mirror port. It was ok until the server crashed (all my fault, really) and fsck came up with all that soft-updates related stuff and what not. Anyway, cvsup-mirror seems to not have noticed the crash at all, but some clients cvsupping from this mirror report unexpected syntax errors during buildworld. They cease to do so once cvsupped from another mirror, but only if I remove src completely before it. Cvsupping the broken sources against the good ones doesn't find a mistake at all. My question is: what mechanisms do cvsup and cvsupd have to deal with data corruption? I know about the -s switch, but it doesn't help to disable it in my situation. How do I repair broken sources or repo, using a good cvsup repo. How do I prevent this from happening again without disabling soft- updates?

Re: cvsup, mirrors and data integrity
Andrew, cvsup is an application that deals with giving people files. It is the job of fsck to check and clear the FS. Check /etc/defaults/rc.conf and add the following variables to your rc.conf fsck_y_enable=YES background_fsck=NO It has been discussed zilion of times and it works. I recommend also wiping your repository and syncing from scratch from the master servers.

I'm quite sure that wiping and resyncing the whole repo will help, it's that I don't want to do that every time a partiotion was not unmounted properly. Any ideas at all?

Re: cvsup, mirrors and data integrity
I don't like the style of djb, sorry. I know, but his tools work and are great for such things.

CPU is saturated much more quickly. It's a dual P3 box, 5-6 cvsup sessions with compression turned on is as much as it is gonna take without major slowdowns. I guess there's no way to make a new IDE disk lag behind over a 100Mbit link. But I'm thinking about gigabit - and cvs instead of cvsup. That's where your recommendations will come into play.

The bottleneck is insufficient memory for BGP. In a week or so there will be another chip. BTW, the network admins of the institution, where the project machine I coadmin is collocated, do not like T*tsco, because it is exploitable and breaks easily under the volume of traffic passing through there.I agree with them to some extend. As the project is fully voluntary and it is backed by the admins and FreeBSD users, it is normal to have such a setup. I'm now used to the signs of dying ntpd and can react in acceptable time.

Haven't tried bgp on FreeBSD, but I'm sure the ntpd problem can be alleviated by daily something like /etc/rc.d/ntpd stop /etc/rc.d/ntpdate start /etc/rc.d/ntpd start, can't it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problems updateing local cvsup mirrors
I haven't updated my machines in quite a while (a month or 2) and today I needed to do so. But when I looked I realized that both machines (at home, and at work) were no longer updateing. I'm getting erors like this in the logs: CVSup update begins at 2004-10-05 06:17:00 Updating from cvsup11.freebsd.org Cannot connect to cvsup11.freebsd.org: Connection refused CVSup update ends at 2004-10-05 06:18:15 And fastest_cvsup, also fails to connect to any (tried us) machines. Has something changed here? And if so, how can I get back in synch to get this working? -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
