Ok, symlinking did not work, I did the following for the symlink:
ln -s /video2/f8/cache /var/cache/yum
That made an ls /var/cache/yum show me the repo directories just like
looking at the original /var/cache/yum.
You lost me though with this "mount the packages subdir into nfs", I have been
using linux for about 9 years and I learn something new everyday.
Do you mean to export the cache dir directly and then mount
ns1:/video2/f8/cache /var/cache/yum or
something entirely different?
I think I can explain that:
- the structure under /var/cache/yum contains a folder for each item in
active .repo
- within each of those folders get the download of the repo's repodata
directory, including the sqlite cache.
- within the folders a folder called packages contains the downloaded .rpms
So: eg:
- /var/cache/yum/updates/ should be real {since it has the sqlite cache}
- /var/cache/yum/updates/packages can be symlinked to your central storage
- repeat for other repos you want to cache.
