osax Feb 1, 2010 #1 Hi there, is it possible to rsync the ports tree across to multiple server, saving bandwith & time. From what I understand, it should be possible, but what files are all involved, or would it work by just rsync-ing the /usr/ports directory?

SirDice Administrator Staff member Administrator Moderator Feb 1, 2010 #2 Why resync? It's simpler just to NFS export it and mount it on the other servers.
D dennylin93 Feb 1, 2010 #3 Go with SirDice's suggestion. Use NFS and amd for automatic mounts. You might want to set a different work directory to avoid conflicts.

OP osax Feb 1, 2010 Thread Starter #4 independent machines Thanx, the NFS is a great idea, but this wont be 99% uptime scenario, I need the machines to be independent from each other.

Click to expand... Don't automatically mount the exported /usr/ports/ and mount by hand when needed.
