But if it runs via cron, I I encourage you to use Quick Fedora Mirror instead: https://pagure.io/quick-fedora-mirror. >From the description: A full rsync of fedora-buffet0 can take hours just to receive the file list, due to the fact that there are over 11 million files. This has to happen for every client, every time they want to update, which is murderous on the download servers and worse on the backend NFS server. It also slows the propagation of important updates because mirrors simply can't poll often. By generating a simple database of file and directory timestamps and sizes, it becomes easy for the client to determine which files have changed since the last mirror run and only mirror those files. This also provides enough information to handle files which have been deleted on the server and files which are missing on the client. In most situations, it also allows hardlinks to be copied as hardlinks instead of being downloaded multiple times. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
