 |
|
In order to reduce load on gentoo servers... and because it would be cool, and because it is possible to do... I want to setup one of the many gentoo computers in my house (I have uh, 3, soon to be 4) to grab the latest portage and have the rest of the computers recieve their sync's from that box.
Only problem is, I'm not entirely sure how to do this. I remember seeing a howto on how to setup an rsync mirror, and I figure thats what i'm probably looking for, although I can't seem to find it now. Anyone done anything similar?

| I believe you may have seen it in the last gwn. The howto is here. I just did it a couple days ago myself. Setting up the rsync mirror is pretty simple. I went with nfs for the distfiles. Seems like the simplest way to go for only a few machines. |

The easy way is: mount /usr/portage via nfs. For this, in the "server" do:
| Code: | # emerge nfs-utils
# nano /etc/exports
/usr/portage 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
# rc-update add nfs default |
You need to recompile the kernel for your server and clients and add support for nfs.
On your clients do:
| Code: | # emerge nfs-utils
# nano /etc/fstab
192.168.1.1:/usr/portage /usr/portage nfs tcp,rw,hard,intr 0 0
# rc-update add netmount default |
Then you just emerge sync on the server and your workstations get synched automagicaly  |
