Ouch -- so updates fetch EVERY file regardless of whether it has changed between the snapshot installed and the target snapshot? That is kind of bad. Are you aware of the work done on OLPC's os-builder, which used rsync "informed" by a per-snapshot metatada file? > Ultimately while the "loose" design may seem naïve, it's not hard to scale As I mentioned, it seems to me that OLPC's os-builder might be of interest to you. In our experience, the problem we had was network latency. On a local network, a small OS image, and with rsync client sending requests speculatively a bit ahead of receiving the response to its prev request... the lag for clients updating was horrible. How long does an update of a full Fedora take when the server is remote, on a relatively good home connection?
