Trying to be "kinder and gentler" to the Gentoo mirrors, I set up my |
| 2 |
"hot backup machine" to "emerge --rsync" from my main machine. I |
| 3 |
followed the instructions in |
| 4 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror#Official_Gentoo_Linux_rsync_Mirrors_Policy_and_Guide |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
main machine is "d530" 192.168.123.250 |
| 7 |
hot backup is "d531" 192.168.123.251 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So I |
| 10 |
- emerge --synce on my main machine (d530) |
| 11 |
- ssh into d531 |
| 12 |
- su to root |
| 13 |
- run "emerge --sync" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The client machine (d531) sees the following error 3 times and gives up... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
============================================================ |

The host machine says the following in /var/log/messages |

The "connect" and "unknown module" messages are repeated 3 times |
